“refreshing originality”
“What sets Bowen apart from so many other artists who are drawn to this area is her resistance to cliche. She avoids the panoramic landscape, preferring to distil a ‘sense of place’ by focusing on more intimate subjects - a swarm of bees, a stray sheep, the glimmer of fish below the surface of the water, treating these with refreshing originality.”
