Artist Bio + Statement
Corinne Ann Bowen (b. 1982) is a multidisciplinary artist and writer based in Rochester, NY. Working primarily with film photography, she explores the quiet sacredness of daily life through the transient nature of light, shadow, and what lies in-between. Her practice embraces fear and self-doubt as thresholds in the creative process, opening space for deeper presence, devotion, and sovereignty. Through images and words, she invites viewers into the space where vulnerability and creativity meet.
Her images do not document—they witness with emotional resonance. Corinne’s work blurs the threshold between seeing and feeling, capturing ordinary spaces—domestic and urban—as sanctuaries of unspoken memory.
Through her lens, the impermanence of a moment becomes devotional. Each frame is a visual prayer for presence in a world that rushes past its own holiness—an attempt to capture the glorious heartbreak of what we cannot hold onto and fully belong to.
Corinne’s work has been exhibited locally and is shared through her Substack, zines, and online print shop. Current projects explore themes of reverence, recovery, motherhood, and the sanctity of everyday human experience.
