The Montgomery Museum of Art & History presents an Artists Reception for Jeanette Bowker on Thursday, May 9, 2019.

Enjoy a solo show of Jeanette Bowker's beautiful work. The Montgomery Museum is pleased to announce the opening of our new art exhibit featuring work by local artist Jeanette Bowker. After earning degrees from the University of Nebraska-Kearney, University of Rhode Island and Virginia Tech, she taught for 26 year in the Interior Design program at Virginia Tech where she was Department Head of Housing, Interior Design and Resource Management.

Upon retirement Jeanette has pursued her own career in painting, both in watercolor and acrylics. She says, "Throughout my years of education I enrolled in art courses that gave me experience working with various artists, experimenting with different mediums, and studying art history. Since retiring I have focused on art interesests on water mediums; watercolors and acrylics." She has attended workshops taught by nationally recognized watercolorists including Don Andrews, Sterling Edwards and Z.L. Feng, and also studies with highly respected regional artists Vera Dickerson and Robin Poteet.

Recent juried shows in which here work has been included are the New River Art Biennial, Central Virginia Watercolor Guild and Virginia Watercolor Society. One of her pieces, "Looking at Earth", was chosen for the permanent collection at the Smithsonian.

The exhibit will be on display until the end of June.
