About me

Pat Bowlds

I have been painting for nearly 30 years, and became fully devoted to watercolor when living in England in the early 90s, where I studied under Alan Roe. In recent years, I have focused on contemporary and abstract paintings utilizing today’s wide variety of new materials and techniques.

I am an active member of the Brevard Watercolor Society, and teach watercolor classes and conduct workshops on a regular basis. I love getting my students started on the road to creating fine works of art and keeping them motivated. In the process, I learn new techniques and contemporary styles. My paintings and my dedication to art continue to improve and I paint almost every day. You can contact me by sending an email to pbowlds@gmail.com or calling 321-633-9712 or 919-215-9442.
