ABOUT THE ARTIST 

Baltimore based artist, Hayes Bowie, creates mixed media works on paper and canvas that use rhythm and contrast as guiding compositional forces. A former art educator of 18 years, evidence of her classroom such as grade books, student spills, and attendance grids now exist objectively as pattern and textures in her work. Playing between the contrasts of highly layered found paper and solid edits with opaque media like spray paint, she blurs the lines between hand created shapes and found media, inviting the viewer in closer to decipher the imagery and its origin.
