Anacortes artist Jennifer Bowman has been selected as the 2004 limited-edition poster artist for the Edmonds Arts Festival.
Bowman is an award winning Northwest artist who has been exhibiting and competing professionally for the past 15 years. She has shown throughout the Puget Sound region, Arizona, California, and Mexico. Her art is in collections from Washington D.C. to Washington State.
Bowman and her husband Bill traveled from Seattle to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and back again on their sailboat during 1996 and 1997. During their travels, she was able to spend an intensive year of study mastering her techniques. Her paintings focused on colorful market scenes, images of bougainvillea-draped buildings, and realistic renditions of the cruising community’s yachts in tropical settings.
When the Bowmans returned to the states, they spent a year in San Diego where Jennifer was commissioned to paint over 40 boat portraits. That number has tripled since then. Her work has graced the cover of 48 Degrees North six times and she has been the Artist for Whidbey Island Race week for two years. She is the winner of the Skagit Valley Tulip poster contest for 2004.
