Honor Bowden

Honor Bowden crafts her art with the warmth and light of her Gold Coast roots. In her impressionistic landscapes and botanicals, she weaves the calm of early seaside mornings with the lively energy of sunlit beach afternoons.

Her palette is a blend of soft pastels and vivid highlights, a tribute to the spirit of the coast she calls home. Each painting is more than just a visual treat; it's an invitation to 'embrace the escape' and immerse yourself in the easy-going bliss of coastal life.

When not in her home studio, Honor is often found along the local shores with her kids and dog, where rock pool treasures and sunset skies fuel her next creations.
