Hey, Earthling!I'm Nadine April Bower.
I'm an artist, designer, thrifter, explorer, creator, entrepreneur, teacher, daughter, cat mom, nature lover and so much more. I'm also a Northwest, Ohio native, and having grown up on a farm, I have endless memories of the red evening sunsets, blue cloudless days, and pink morning sunrises. Below these beautiful colors though, were also the rough textures of plowed fields and tree lined horizons. My work attempts to show the beautiful balance between these soft, swirling, feminine skies with the rough, textured, masculine earth. More recently, I've also been working to show this beautiful balance through a portrait and still life series. Currently, most of my work consists of acrylic on canvas paintings. However, I'm exploring a wide variety of creative approaches including printmaking, stenciling, wood burning and more. The best way to keep up with my creative endeavors is by following me on Instagram @nadineabower. Hope to see you there! -Nadine |
