Damon P. Bowie

The Inspired Journey of a Christian Artist

Born June 22, 1969 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Damon P. Bowie was raised by his loving and Christian grandmother Betty Bowie.  Even as a child, Damon had insight into his own life declaring to his godfather one Sunday afternoon, at the age of twelve, that he would marry “that girl” he had just seen in church.  Today, Damon and “that girl,” his lovely wife Penny Bowie, have now known each other for over twenty-two years, have been married for fifteen, and have three beautiful and vivacious daughters. 

Bowie began drawing religious designs at the unbelievable age of five using pen and paper. Throughout his formative years, he fell in love with theology and Bible history giving him even more visions to share on his canvas.  Entering college, Damon pursued a medical degree, but with a wife and new baby to support, Bowie took on freelance art jobs to fulfill his financial responsibilities.  This ultimately led to his career as an artist.

It was in this culture of creativity, without any formal training, that launched Bowie into the arts in a new and exciting way.  After years of exploration and practice to hone his skills, he believes God gives him his inspiration(s) for his most moving works of Christian art. The Word comes alive in his visual interpretation of the Bible’s most remarkable stories that Bowie also shares as a minister, a pastor of young married couples, and a guitarist in his church’s musical group, “The Worship Team”.

“On November 16, 1986, I received the Lord and on that wonderful day, the tone for my entire life was set.  As I journey toward the mark of the highest calling, Christ Jesus, that calling for me . . . is to create… and I humbly persevere to answer His call.” 

 These words from Damon P. Bowie best express his passion and desire to share his calling with others through his Spirituals™ Collection.
