Artist Books
Heather wanted to create a new style of work and find a way to marry up all the skills she has learnt over the years.
She read the following quote, “Artist Books are works of art that utilize the form of a book – using structure or function of the book as inspiration.”
Debut Novel
The Painting in Room 48
Available on Amazon and Kindle
She has always been fascinated with the idea that the space between a painting and a viewer is filled with their own history and wanted to develop this idea for it to play a major role in the book.
Heather Bowring uses problems and challenges to fuel her painting and writing, which in turn gives us the opportunity to appreciate unique creativity and maybe bring healing and new dimensions to our own existence
