“The Goddess of Spring emerges from the place of mystery where she resides after Autumn, bringing the awakening transformation of life to the sleeping winter landscape.”
Canadian artist Jonathon Earl Bowser was born in 1962. He began drawing at age eight, painting at age 18, and graduated from the Alberta College of Art in 1984. His limited-edition prints and collector’s plates are now represented by many galleries internationally, and his original paintings are in public and private collections across North America, Europe, and Asia - including the government collections of China and Taiwan. The artist’s extensive and informative website has an excellent selection of Jonathon’s best work, including his unique figurative-landscape paintings that he calls Mythic Naturalism – images looking for the mysterious poetry of which the natural world is made.
