Artist Bio

Corinne Ann Bowen (b. 1982) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer based in Rochester, New York.

Her analog photography practice explores the sacred within the ordinary and the ways creative presence can serve as a mirror for healing and awareness. Working with film, light, and the textures of everyday life, she translates personal experience into a shared human language.

With a background in psychology, studio art, and creative direction, Corinne approaches photography as both an artistic and spiritual practice—an act of attention that transforms the familiar into the transcendent. Her work has been exhibited in group shows and featured in publications including Create! Magazine, Kinhouse, and Behind the Glass Gallery.

PORTFOLIO

Artist Statement

Working primarily with analog photography, Corinne explores the sacred ordinary—the way light, texture, and everyday gestures reveal what is waiting to be seen, healed, and understood.

Her work is rooted in the belief that a committed creative practice can serve as a mirror—inviting us to meet ourselves with honesty, tenderness, and courage. Each image is an act of presence: a devotional gesture toward what is fleeting, imperfect, or overlooked. Through film photography’s inherent slowness and unpredictability, Corinne engages the creative process as a form of meditation, integrating fear and self-doubt as thresholds into deeper awareness.

Her photographs witness rather than document. They trace the intimate terrain where emotion, memory, and light converge—the space between the personal and the universal, the visible and the felt.

Through this practice, she seeks to translate solitude into connection and to remind us that ordinary life, when seen with intention, becomes holy.

Current projects explore the interplay of motherhood, recovery, devotion, and creative sovereignty—an ongoing dialogue between art-making and self-remembering.
