Andrea Bowers

Andrea Bowers was born in Wilmington, Ohio in 1965. She lives and works in Los Angeles, California. For over two decades, feminist artist and activist Andrea Bowers has ammassed an international reputation for her prints, paintings, drawings, videos, and installations which translate her goal of highlighting social and political injustices and those fighting against them into a unique visual language. Bowers’s political-based artistic practice is rooted in archival research, interviews, and participation in non-violent protests. Her mixed media works, rendering text and powerful gestures of resistance, are often produced on found objects such as cardboard and wrapping paper, in solidarity with one of her many social and political concerns, climate change.
