Lisa Kay Bowen

Lisa was born in Southern California. Her deep love for the coast and its laidback lifestyle are still a big part of who she is and it shows in the freeform lightheartedness of her art. She now resides in North Scottsdale, but her journey has taken her through a few chapters, moving to Arizona in the fifth grade, then returning to California in her twenties, where she married and had her daughter, Macy. She traded the coast for a slower pace, raising her daughter in a Mayberry-like lake town in Minnesota. Eventually, life brought her almost full circle back out West. Embracing art as a second career, or, as she says – a calling, has transformed her life in ways she could never have imagined. Through her art, she seeks to uplift the viewer and offer them an emotional sanctuary of sorts – a healing space, and a visual respite from the chaos and sometimes rigid lines of this world. She sees her art as a homecoming of the soul, a celebration of authenticity, vulnerability, joy, and the unexpected, reminding others, and herself, that it’s never too late to embrace your true calling and create a life filled with passion, purpose, and creativity. Lisa’s art is in private collections across the country, from Del Mar, California, to New York City. Her art was recently selected for the “Orange” Exhibition and the “Green” Exhibition at FoundRE Contemporary, in Phoenix, Arizona, as well as for the Joyworks: Exploring the Power of Art Exhibition at the Sonoran Arts League Gallery, in Carefree, Arizona, where she won first place for piece, “Star Circus.” As well, she currently has a diptych happily residing at the renowned Lume in West Village, in New York City.
