Lisa Jo Bowers is an interdisciplinary artist from the Bronx, New York working in a variety of media. Bowers' work explores the navigation of her own internal emotional landscape and her multiracial identity. She is empowered by acts of resistance, small and large, that challenge established social structures founded upon the exploitation of marginalized peoples. Bowers has studied art at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas; the Academia Italiana in Florence, Italy; New York City’s Art Student’s League; and received her MFA from the City College of New York.
