About Me
Hi, I’m Drue Bowen.
I’m a senior in high school who is driven by a love for creating. When I was growing up, I was surrounded by people like my grandmother and mom, who both were extremely creative and loving. I would watch as they turned something plain, like a blank canvas or empty apartment into something full of warmth and life. This proximity to exciting and lively activities inspired me to become like them — someone who was able to work their hardest whatever the circumstance, and create something beautiful.
Since then I have been drawn to art in every form. Whether it is crocheting a sweater for myself or working to create a costume for a child in a wheelchair, I love working hard to make things that radiate warmth and joy.
I am always seeking out ways to achieve this, so rather than committing myself to one style of art, I have been constantly trying new things. Each one of my pieces has been the result of my passion for learning new techniques, styles, and forms that I would have never thought to try before. I put all of my efforts into projects where maybe I’m not the best at — at first — but through that effort and experience, I learn so much.
