Adele Bower Fine and Fun Art

Adele Bower

Adele Bower - Fine Artist

Kingwood, TX - United States

Almost everything Adele does must first go through her 'fun filter.' If it isn't fun, then she considers moving on to something that is fun and that includes her art. Often when setting out to do a serious painting, the urge to have fun takes over and the painting ends up light-hearted. She enjoys sketching with pen and ink, charcoal, or plain old graphite pencil, but her real love is color, the more vivid the better. She likes to make colors vibrate when painted next to each other. She paints fast and rarely dawdles over her art.

Adele's father was an accompllished professional illustrator and fine art painter, which gave her a childhood surrounded by beautiful art and expert training. He was her first teacher....and he was demanding. Having 'fun' was not in his curriculum. Adele eventually held several jobs working in commercial illustration studios and later in her own freelance studio. She has written and illustrated two children's books which have been published and can be purchased on www.amazon.com, 'Emmie's Birthday Party' and 'Emmie's First Journal.' She has also illustrated two books about classical ballet, 'About Ballet Class' and 'About Ballet Performance.'

Adele studied art at the University of Houston-Main Campus, the University of Texas at Austin, and graduated from the Art Institute of Houston. Today she paints in her home studio in Kingwood, Texas (a suburb of Houston, Texas). She and her husband have three children, two children-in-law, and six grandchildren. Life is still 'fun.'
