Chris Bowman was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  At the age of three he left with his family to travel for four years through South East Asia. He later returned and attended the Waldorf School in Calgary for nine years. Chris was taught according to the Waldorf method of pedagogy; children should learn through their own experience, resulting in the most important lesson: how to learn. At the Waldoft School Chris learned about the arts and was empowered at an early age to nurture his own creativity.

Chris has always devoted as much time as possible to traveling, enjoying spur of the moment trips where new opportunities are always abundant. Chris’ artistic exploration led him to an interest in photography as a hobby, enjoying the process of choosing compositions and perspectives.

Traveling all his life, Chris has experimented with making art for more than twenty years and the cultural diversity and influences that he has encountered have provided him with a broad perspective to develop is artistic direction.
