Her art practice centers on exalting America’s Black culture. Bowman’s use of vibrant hues, textured paper and acrylic paint illuminates’ narratives that move beyond institutional racism and disparaged perspectives of the Black experience–a view in which America too often limits the full picture.  Considering herself a visual griot, she sees her job to tell stories that are reflective of her coming-of-age in Detroit’s Eastside and Black Bottom neighborhoods. Scenes in her vibrant collages depict love, community and a type of fellowship that resides in jazzy nights, the sway of young Black women and the swag of young Black men, church on Sundays followed by family dinner, family outings and cultural dignity and richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowman’s work appears in private and public collections–nationally and internationally–including the Institutional and Permanent Collections of the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Historical Museum, Mack Alive, Sarasota African American Cultural Coalition, Sarasota, Florida; The Free Press building, Detroit, Michigan; R.W.

Think of the work of Robert Rauschenberg or Bob Heineken. But that work was manipulated into being by those artists. My series, Every Thing Changes, relies more on John Cage for its inspiration. It is the result of a happy accident. I realized one day that looking through a newspaper page instead of at the page let me discover a whole world of new images created by the completely unintentional, random and accidental combination of two photographs printed back to back. Unless that combination is recorded it is completely evanescent, because by the next day that newspaper is in recycle. So, every day since, I have saved the paper to look through for the images that I find and use to produce the prints for this work.

I often use bright colors and repeating patterns as a way of injecting each project with evidence of the exuberant aliveness I feel when making art.

Glitchware is made up of two pieces one is the original glass candlestick that I picked up at the thrift store and the second is its modern digital counterpart, which was 3D printed and cast in crystal. Tchotchke Mirror is a scan of thrift store figurines that I digitally manipulated and remade in solid Ash using a CNC machine. The figurines and original glass candlestick are good representations of the ubiquitous and aura-less objects that we are surrounded by. They are soulless decorative objects acquired at the thrift store, but by applying this process of photogrammetry and shifting from physical to digital back to physical the reproduced object becomes distorted in ways that make it more uniquely formed than the original. This process of transformation and mutation starts to create a complicated web of reflexive relationships between an object and itself that I think is really interesting.

I went into the illustration department and completed all my fundamental classes and after 3 years had to put my schooling on hold due to finances. I worked in manufacturing for years before returning to art. I took the knowledge I had learned from College for Creative Studies along with my old text books and began drawing again.
