About Natasha Bowdoin

Natasha Bowdoin is a visual artist working in the space between painting and installation, interested in stretching the physical boundaries of painting and exploring notions of painting as site.

Her work has been presented widely in solo and group exhibitions across the country.

Bowdoin received her BA from Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, in Classics and Studio Art and her MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA. She is an Associate Professor in Painting and Drawing at Rice University in Houston, TX, where she lives and works.
