I’m Barbara Bowling — a mixed‑media fine artist and founder of Barbara Bowling Art, working from my in‑home studio, Studio 3B, under my business 3B Designs Unlimited LLC.
My work blends abstract expressionism, figurative storytelling, wildlife realism, and heart‑centered symbolism into vibrant, emotional paintings created in acrylic, oil, watercolor, and mixed media. Every piece reflects my personal journey — one shaped by resilience, healing, and a lifelong love of color.
Although I began painting professionally at 53 (now 55), my connection to art started years earlier. When my daughter was young, I painted soft pastel murals across her bedroom walls — a bright, smiling sun named Charles and a serene, glowing moon named Stella. Their expressive faces and gentle colors watched over her, filling the room with warmth and imagination.
I didn’t know it then, but those murals were the first quiet signs of the artist I would one day become.
I returned to painting during a time when I needed a place to breathe, to heal, and to reconnect with myself. Creating became more than a hobby; it became a sanctuary — a way to channel my energy, ease anxiety, and navigate my emotions with intention.
Through color, texture, and movement, I found a grounding place, a refuge, and a renewed sense of joy. My art is deeply personal, yet intentionally universal — made to inspire peace, strength, and emotional connection in others.
