Jennifer Wyman Bowman received a BA from Dartmouth College, a Certificate of Interior Design from The New School and a Master of Architecture from the University of Colorado. Jen resides and photographs in Westport, CT and Nantucket, MA and travels extensively with camera in hand.
Jen’s career began with residential interior design then architecture in New York City and eventually evolved into more than 15 years as a graphic artist. All the while, she has pursued an artistic passion for photography that she developed early on as a student. The common thread of all of Jen’s design training is the ability to truly see spatial relationships and to understand color, scale and layout. Jen is obsessed with art and beautiful spaces. She infuses all of her design experience into her approach to photography.
I find myself continually drawn to two of my great loves, flowers and the ocean. My early morning explorations of dunes, sky, sea and gardens feed my soul and inspire my work.
My art is in capturing the graphic relationship between natural elements; the layering of sky, horizon, ocean, and land; the way flower petals overlap, recede, drink in the light; the endless variations in colors, forms and shapes. I am fascinated by what’s in between – the detail within a single hydrangea, the rhythm found in a peony blossom; the spray of a crashing wave, the patterns in water, the changing color of the horizon. Mindfully composing each piece, I hope to evoke an emotional response and to convey the intangible of the particular moment.
