A Bridge of Cultures by Jay Bowen
A Contemporary look at Native Insights Friday, September 23rd—Sunday, September 25th
On Friday evening, September 23rd, 5:00–8:00pm Jay Bowen will be presenting his artwork to Shelter Bay Community members and Swinomish Tribal members. Jay will be sharing the presentation with 14-year-old aspiring artist, Delarosa Damien.
Their art will also be on display during the weekend at the clubhouse from noon to 5:00 pm.
Jay was born into a traditional Upper Skagit family. At a young age he realized that his God given gifts were in the arts. He attended Western Washington University and the Rhode Island School of Design. His artistic talents are in oil painting, designing custom fine jewelry, steel sculptures, and in working with many other mediums of art. Jay’s paintings, sculptures and poetry have spiritual and healing properties. He uses the power of color and movement to express all that surrounds us.
Delarosa Damien has dedicated her life to telling her stories through art. Delarosa plans to attend Art School after high school.
