Bio
Jane Bowen has exhibited throughout Ontario since her first solo exhibition in Elora, Ont, in 1989. While assemblage has been a consistent area of her focus, her exhibited bodies of work demonstrate her experience in a range of mediums including encaustic, sculpture, and oil & cold wax. Primarily self taught, her evolving artwork draws on her surroundings and daily life, evoking thoughtful contemplation.
