Hello, I'm Rowena P.

Born in Peru​,​ Rowena has made her home in the USA since 2004. She is a poet and a published writer. For more than a decade she worked as a paramedic in Fairfax​,​ VA because she values life and the wellbeing of her community. She felt a calling to art that had been since her youth in Peru​,​ and now she captures that creativity in her paintings. Though Rowena does not conform her art to one medium​,​ her artistic style is abstract​,​ magical surrealism​,​ contemporary. The artist pushes the limits of her techniques with each painting as she explores the world around her for inspiration. She is captivated by the natural world and animals​,​ also suffers when pondering over the current state of environmental destruction. Her stunning pieces​,​ with the use of different acrylic media​,​ mate​,​ metallic and fluorescent paints​,​ light up the spaces they're in. The texture that she creates in every stretched canvas​,​ wood panel​,​ panel canvas​,​ etc. is done with mixed media as binders​,​ glues​,​ coffee​,​ sand​,​ even feathers and a real bird nest.
