About the artist

Leslie Bowman was born in Washington, DC and went to public schools in Fairfax, Virginia. She studied fine arts at Carnegie Melon University before transferring to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, where she received a BFA in Fine Arts. Later she completed a MFA in Painting from Washington University, spent a summer at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and participated in workshops at the Maine Photo Workshops.

Among the various jobs that have kept her busy, involved with art, sometimes directly and often indirectly were three years as the Director of Admissions at the Maine College of Art (when it was still the Portland School of Art); photographer and writer for the Quoddy Tides newspaper in Eastport, Maine; and Instructor of photography and art at the University of Maine,Machias. Perhaps the most important job during those many years was helping to raise two children who have both found the arts to be a major part of their lives. Presently, she is working as the Photography Editor of the regional magazine Bangor Metro and finding some time to work on independent projects and exhibitions.
