Studio Visit: Flora S. Bowley

I recently had an exciting chance to visit Flora S. Bowleys art studio in Portland, Oregon.  I became a fan of Flora's this year when I met her at a showing at Bohemia Gallery here in Ashland.  (I shared her with you then as well) Kindred souls to be sure we hit off an artsy friendship right away.

  We stopped by her studio for her Monday Art night and worked in our art journals and marveled at her working away on numerous "mini's" while we tinkered at a table.  (And Flora is working her way into the fun world of creative teaching so stay tuned for more info about studying with her!  I cannot wait.) 

I have fallen in love with many of her large scale pieces and couldn't resist one for myself! (YES!!)  Her studio is full of lovely reminders.  Her wall reads in silver paint: "THERE ARE NO MISTAKES", and the image here is just the extra paint on the wall that falls off of the pieces she's working on.  Stunning!!  For more about Flora and her original paintings visit her website right here.
