Judy Bowman

Judy Bowman is a collage artist born in Detroit. Her practice centers on exalting America’s Black culture with narratives that move beyond institutional racism and disparaged perspectives of the Black experience. Considering herself a visual griot, she pays tribute to personal memories from her coming-of-age in Detroit’s East Side and Black Bottom neighborhoods. Bowman’s work appears in the institutional collections of the Georgetown University Library, Washington DC; US Department of State; Art Bank Program, Washington DC; and The Flint Institute of Art, Flint, Michigan.
