WENDY BOWMAN BUTLER is an American artist concentrating in photography, painting, and videography. Bowman specializes in portrait, editorial, fashion, family and lifestyle, as well as commercial advertising, corporate headshots, and film production photography. For the past 12 years, her career has been defined by versatility—from working on her own individual projects and exhibitions, to apprenticing an internationally acclaimed artist, and collaborating with major brands.

Bowman’s work confronts the layers of perception through a synthesis of the natural and artificial. Her subjects are often isolated—their essences both accented and undercut by their context. Her urban landscapes appear as if they are fabricated movie sets saturated in hard light, while her human subjects are often caught at night illuminated only by the synthetic light of the city. The fragmented composition and vivid color in her photographs evoke intrigue with everyday artifacts and people that would otherwise be overlooked as ordinary.

Bowman’s Cloud series of paintings blend figurative and graphic techniques to represent the intersection of the biological and technological worlds. This series connects consciousness to machine, reality to imagination, and illustrates the dichotomy of the shared human experience and the inherent isolation of the digital age. Her dramatized atmospheric scapes are a commentary on the deconstruction of our organic reality.

Bowman worked as a painter for artist Sarah Morris in Morris’s New York City studio. Bowman also traveled with Morris extensively to places including France, Germany, China and Abu Dhabi working as a photographer on Morris’s films, as well as documenting the artist’s exhibitions across the world.
