ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Megan Bowdon!
Megan Bowdon Art

For the month of July, our artist spotlight features Megan Bowdon! Megan was born to be an artist, and her pieces show her true passion, inspiration, and creativity! We are so lucky to have her here at our gallery, read to get to know more about Megan!
_____________________

MEET MEGAN:
✨Where it all started: "As far back as I can remember, I have always been creative. As a child, my parents supplied me with endless arts and craft supplies and enrolled me in any art class I could find. My high school art teacher fostered my love for painting and encouraged me to peruse a creative career. I went on to graduate from Louisiana Tech University with a BFA in Interior Design. I worked as a designer for 5 years until our first baby was born and I decided to leave work to raise our family. During that time, I quickly realized I still needed a creative outlet and I picked up a paint brush again, and Megan Bowdon Art + Design was born!"

✨The inspiration: "I view everything from a creative lenses, and therefore see artistic inspiration everywhere. As a Louisiana girl, I am inspired by our unique culture, landscape and flare for the dramatic. We love to travel often and I am always taking pictures on our adventures for ideas for new collections. I am so intrigued by fashion and interior design and am continually inspired by their uses of color, textures and construction."

✨What means the most: "I ultimately want to use the talent the Lord has given me to glorify Him. I never want to take for granted all He has blessed me with. I want my children to see me pursuing my passion through creativity and know they can chase after their own dreams. And I want to creative beautiful, unique and meaningful art that my collectors can connect with and enjoy in their homes for years to come.”

We will be here until 5 today, have a great Independence Day weekend! 🎆🇺🇸❤️
