Artist Statement
The “process” is very
important to me, as are the
materials I use. Design
elements, many layers of
colors and metal components,
create paintings rich in
texture, color and depth. As
an abstract artist,
inspiration comes from
everything including nature
which may be reflected
somewhere within my work. I
create from an intuitive level
which allows me to be
spontaneous although there is
always an emphasis on design
and conception. Often the
painting will evolve and
change over time as I work the
piece and become connected to
it on a more intimate level.
I usually work in a series
consisting of three to five
paintings connected to the
same concept.

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I think we are born as artists and if we are fortunate, we find our voice early in life and fulfill our inner drive to express what we see, feel and live. Some of us take a detour on our journey to find ourselves and our artistic path, it takes us longer to express ourselves. "An artist will eventually find their voice, it is inevitable". |

| Your Personal Biography |
Lydia Richez-Bowman was born in Nice, France and came to America as a young girl, her French heritage is a strong influence in her creativity. She moved to Bismarck from San Diego, CA with her family in 2006, but her art is still influenced by the light, energy and culture of southern California which is very similar to Nice.
Lydia Richez-Bowman has an Associates Degree in Arts and an Associates Degree in Science as well as numerous credits in multi-art forms. She started her education in the arts with a focus on becoming an Interior Designer but fine arts became her passion. Ms. Richez-Bowman has developed and evolved her own unique style with a strong emphisis on design and design elements. She is an abstract artist able to engage the viewer with her multi-level works, unusual combinations of materials and strong use of color. The inclusion of metal and metalic materials is a direct reference to her past as a jewelry designer and manufacturer of original works in silver, copper and cloisonne enameling.
Ms. Richez-Bowman is an award winning artist with many of her
paintings accepted into innumerable juried, individual, invitational and solo independent exhibitions. Assortments of her paintings are in private collections here and abroad.
With her move to Bismarck, she found a new voice both artistically and as an ‘art activist’. She has taught art classes to children and adults, both privately and in groups. Ms. Richez-Bowman is also on the board of the Dakota West Arts Council here in Bismarck.
