Lynn Bowers graduated from Reed College and the Portland Art Museum School in 1965. She studied with Marguerite Wildenhain at the Pond Farm summer workshops between 1962 and 1964 and again for a few years in the 1970s and 1980s.
Bowers established the Fox Hollow Pottery in Eugene, Oregon, in 1971. She has had a 15 year career in costume design for the ballet and opera and also does residential mural painting. Bowers makes ceramic sculptures and creates pottery during “warm weather.”
The stoneware vase by Bowers in the Pond Farm Collection was created in 2000. It has a greenish-gold body with an incised blue and white abstracted stem and leaf design. The interior is glazed cobalt blue.
