About

In her work Rowan explores the mystery of life, through a spiritual quest for freedom and embodiment. Using oil on canvas as well as charcoal on paper, and sometimes gold leaf, she translates her personal journey of discovery.

Deeply inspired by nature and the belief that divinity permeates every particle of creation. She aims to communicate her inner experience, while capturing the compelling play between light and dark, beauty and chaos in the world all around us.

Informed by her background, in transpersonal art therapy, she honours art and the creative process as a healing modality, for both the artist and the viewer. Each piece is created from a deep space of stillness, reverence and devotion to life.

Her work speaks of hope, of light in the darkness and the dynamic motion of life and nature. Opening the doorway to the great beyond, translating the great mystery!

Rowan originally trained as a glass artist and ran a successful glass business between 2003 and 2010, selling her work both nationally and internationally. She later trained as an Art Therapist gaining a master’s degree in 2015. She went on to practice Art Therapy and to teach on the subject.

Through her therapeutic work and creative self-reflection, Rowan rediscovered her love of painting and embarked on a healing journey, through her creative practice.

Since 2017 Rowan has been a new emerging talent and has built a meaningful career as a painter. While honing her unique style, she’s had numerous successful solo exhibitions, been shortlisted for emerging talent awards, has sold her work internationally as well as through galleries and has built a large online audience.

After eight years as contemporary landscape artist, working in oils and 24ct gold leaf, Rowans style has now evolved and changed into a creative expression of her inner journey. Sometimes still expressed through landscapes, but also incorporating other subject matter and styles.
