Showcasing Lydia Richez-Bowman

     As a child I always enjoyed

 creating whether using crayons, paint or building with cardboard boxes.  As I grew up, this love never faded and eventually I went to college to study fine arts, interior design, textiles, metal arts and jewelry making.

     I use different mediums - paper, textiles, acrylics, and metal.  I use artist made paper in current works.   I'm an artistic explorer finding new and unique ways of using multi mediums.   Each creative idea evolves according to the materials used and different ways of incorporating them.

Nature has always been an inspiration. I have a special love of trees, rocks and the abstract in nature.  I'm fascinated with the lights and darks created by back lighting on vegetation.
