Savannah Bowman is a black woman artist from the Southside of Chicago now based in New York City. Savannah is a true multi-hyphenate, with an array of interests and passions that range from painting to nail art to photography. However, her emphasis remains on oil and acrylic paint. Through a compelling blend of portraiture, colorful acrylic and oil mediums, and the use of dried flowers as found objects, Savannah honors black people and black identity. Viewers are invited to explore themes of beauty, culture, and identity as each image depicts its subjects with nuance, dignity, and brightness. Savannah seeks to challenge the prevailing narratives that often overlook or misrepresent the experiences of marginalized communities, and instead create work that empowers and uplifts. She is dedicated to using art as a vehicle of advocacy and empowerment. Her detailed portraits speak to the multifaceted experiences of black people and showcase unique representations that are often overlooked in the mainstream art world.With her work, Savannah hopes to spark conversation, evoke empathy, and inspire others.
