Pattie Bowler- Award Winning Artist
I have a strong passion for color and shapes in my abstracts that define the intuitive process with multi layers of color. As I grew as an artist, shortly before retiring as a flight attendant after 27 plus years from United Airlines in 2003, I began painting watercolors then discovered I preferred the forgiveness of acrylics and I really enjoyed doing abstracts. I like the spontaneous results that I receive and the different interpretations that the viewer takes into the mind. My Husband, Bill and I moved to Roseville from Colorado Springs in August 2021. Before living in Colorado, we lived in McKinney, Texas and Fallbrook, California. I exhibited in Colorado Springs and 3 different Galleries in Texas and in 4 Galleries in Southern California.

Signature member of Pikes Peak Watercolor Society, Southwestern Watercolor Society Dallas and Colorado Watercolor Society, Past President of both groups.

Artist Statement

I Began painting about 25 years ago in McKinney, Texas where we lived in a 103-year-old farm house about 4 blocks from the town square with antique stores boutiques and art galleries and eventually became a part of Gallery on the Square and Artist Showplace, that started my journey to being a professional artist. I believe that the influence of my mother being a successful professional artist in Austin Texas also helped to inspire me.

My process Is intuitive one thought marries another as color is inspiring to me. I started with watercolors but using acrylics is my first choice because of the versality and forgiveness. Generally, I have an idea of what I am going to do but often it changes along the way. I use a heat gun to achieve the texture I love. I also do mixed media it’s the use of found papers, former paintings fabrics metals and whatever will attach with the correct adhesive No Rules ‘.

Joining art groups is where I developed my strong interest in abstracts acquiring Signature status with SWS and acceptance into 5 shows. I served as the Workshop Chairwoman for 3 years providing 6 workshops a year and Show chairwoman and then went on to become President. We relocated to Colorado Springs in 2014 where I continued my quest by Joining Gallery 113, Pikes Peak Watercolor Society and became President, and Colorado Watercolor Society, and earned Signature Status with both.
