Art has been an essential part of Maureen’s life. Her artistic interests and pursuits can be credited to her parents, since both were skilled artisans. Spending all of her childhood creating in their workshops, she later came to discover a great deal of satisfaction and freedom in her craft. After extensive studys and instructing art she has worked professionally as an artist for more than 30 years. Her feisty disposition and zest for life are a driving force. With great confidence and determination she has ushered across many challenging thresholds producing murals, wall finishes, decorative and architectural artwork, and fine art as well. Maureen is a firm believer in using her time and talent to help local charities and organizations. She is always open for a challenge and never doubts her abilities. ‘My work is defined by the places I’ve been and worked in the past few decades. As a decorative artist I have developed my tastes and aesthetic being surrounded by the most beautiful homes, created and appointed by the most talented people.’
Maureen Bowie: Read My Mind
Mixed media painting made with book/magazine pages, paint and Coldwax with a small book inserted into the painting.. I find inspiration in the elements of age decay and that which is worn. Structures in despair, oxidized metals, peeling paint and graffiti, and all that nature has eroded and society itself has condemned. My work has included vast subject matter and a diverse use of mediums. Paper, metals, old books, discarded and found objects along with paints and waxes are some of the materials I work with yet not limited to any one specific material. Materiality is evident in my work and allows for endless inspiration.
