Natasha Bowdoin (born 1981) is an American artist. She was born in West Kennebunk, Maine, but now works and lives in Houston, Texas.[1] She is known for her three-dimensional paper collages that explore the intersection of literature, visual art, and nature.[2] Many of her installations are done on a large-scale, which creates an immersive experience that forces her viewer to challenge their relationship with the natural world.[3] Bowdoin credits her childhood spent roaming the wilderness of Maine—and love of fantastical literary works like Alice in Wonderland—as her works' inspiration.[1]

Bowdoin is currently working as an associate professor at Rice University.[4] She earned her BA in Classics and Studio Art from Brandeis University (2003) and then went on to obtain a MFA from Tyler School of ART (2007). In addition, she has completed several residencies and created a public artwork for Rice University.[3]

Collections

Bodoin's work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston[5] and the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art.[6]
