DOROTHY BUNNY BOWEN
Statement
I started as a painter and art historian.
In 1980 I discovered batik, after working as a textile research associate at the Museum of International Folk Art for ten years. Batik combined my love for textiles with my training as a painter.
Water is a recurring theme for me; living in the desert Southwest.
I'm aware of every drop that falls, flows or evaporates anywhere nearby.
I believe we should live lightly on this earth in absolute awe of its magnificence.
I hope this comes through in my work.
Classes
Bunny has taught workshops in batik and silk painting for fiber arts groups. She taught at Ghost Ranch for 14 years, and now offers private instruction in Rozome (Japanese batik) and soy wax resist in her studio, up to two students at a time, by appointment.
