About the Artist

Sanah Brown-Bowers is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans realistic portrait painting, sculpture, shadow boxes, installation, and immersive experiences. Rooted in her Christian faith, her practice explores themes of legacy, spiritual restoration, and Black joy. Through layered materials such as fabric, archival imagery, wood, and found objects, she creates narrative-rich environments that honor ancestry, community, and the divine presence in everyday life. In 2024, Brown-Bowers earned her MFA in Multidisciplinary Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and relocated from Texas to Baltimore. She now teaches at MICA while continuing her studio practice, where she is developing a new body of work that reflects her commitment to faith, healing, and creative ministry. Her work has been exhibited in galleries, public spaces, and educational institutions, offering immersive and reflective experiences that invite viewers to encounter beauty, hope, and spiritual connection.
