Join us to welcome NC Landscape/Plein Air Painter Henry Bowers at a reception at City Gallery, 207 S Main Street, Galax, VA on Friday, October 11, 2019, between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. as the newest member of our artists’ cooperative.
Bowers’ oil paintings capture the beauty of a vanishing rural America, and the New River basin of North Carolina and Virginia is his favorite subject. His interest in preserving this passing way of life has not been limited to painting. In 2013 he was named North Carolina Historian of the Year for his success in leading the effort to restore the last remaining antebellum cotton mill village meeting house in North Carolina.
His bucolic paintings range in size from delicate miniatures to his larger signature pieces. He has studied with a number of notable artists including master wildlife artist John Seerey-Lester and landscape painter Eleinne Basa. Bowers is presently teaching landscape and plein-air painting at Randolph Community College in Asheboro, North Carolina.
