Eric Bowman Biography
Eric Bowman was born in Pasadena and grew up in Orange County, California, launching into the world of freelance illustration in the 1980’s. While enjoying a successful career as a commercial artist, it was a chance meeting with two prominent California painters in 1998 that changed Eric’s world view of Art and set him on a new journey into fine art painting. Since that time, Eric has developed a unique style that continues to evolve deriving inspiration from sources both contemporary and historic. As a painter, Eric has exhibited in some of the country's finest galleries and museums including the Autry Museum of the American West, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Briscoe Western Art Museum, the Gilcrease Museum, the Kaiping Art Museum (China), the Academy Art Museum, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the Salmagundi Club in New York city.
