Painter and printmaker, Pete L. Bowman, was born in Bellingham,

Washington in 1954. 

His studios are near Gainesville, Georgia, on Lake Lanier, and also

on Lummi Island, near Bellingham, Washington.

Bowman received his Master of Fine Arts Degree at

Memphis College of Art

and  Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Atlanta College of Art.

Mr. Bowman has worked with lithographer Wayne Kline (Tamarind Master Printer) at the Rolling Stone Press in Atlanta. 

Since 2001, Bowman has worked as an Adjunct professor at

the Atlanta College of Art.

Concerns of the human condition and a deep connection with nature are important to Bowman’s work.  He bases his abstractions upon

ideas of changing conditions of his physical, social, and spiritual environments.  His work is rich with color, texture,

and organic syntheses of contemplative formality and

impulse driven exuberance. 

Pete L. Bowman’s paintings and original lithographs, woodcuts, and intaglio prints are included in many private collections,

and have been shown in numerous exhibitions at galleries and museums throughout the country.
