Carolyn Gowdy

Carolyn Gowdy was born and raised in Seattle and has lived in London since the late 1970s. She is a painter, visionary, illustrator, poet and multi-disciplinary artist with a philosophical, playful and reflective approach to image making. She is renowned for her drawings, for an inventive synthesis of word and image, and for a cast of idiosyncratic characters who make frequent appearances in the ongoing narrative.

Gowdy's work is shown and collected internationally. She has featured in many major publications, books, magazines and newspapers. Her images have appeared as wall size posters cross the London Underground, in The New Yorker and in The LA Times. She is the recipient of numerous awards for her work.

Her ongoing project 'Life is an Adventure' forms a series of episodes, installations, printworks, wearable art pieces, fragments, documents and artefacts. Recent inventions include 'magic timepieces', 'bird toys', 'light reflectors', 'follow your heart compasses'and 'poem people' portraits. Most recently she interviewed members of the public with the question, 'What sort of flower are you?' and documented the results.
