Rowan Bathurst: Exploring Feminine Identity Through Art

The Truth In This Art: Exploring Creativity and Culture

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I sit down with Rowan Bathurst, a Baltimore-based visual artist whose work spans continents, bridging Baltimore and São Paulo, Brazil. Rowan's art draws inspiration from ancient Venus figurines, modern sisterhood, and the complex intersections of femininity, identity, and history.

We explore her creative journey, from strict Catholic school beginnings to becoming a full-time artist, her passion for painting and murals, and the profound impact of travel on her artistic perspective. Rowan shares insights into her upcoming solo show, the role of color (particularly red) in her work, and the deep connections she forms between ancestral history and present-day narratives.

Join us for an engaging discussion about art, process, and the joy of bringing vibrant color to communities through public art.
