John Bowen, Boca Raton, FL.
I was born in the Bronx, New York and raised in Northeast New Jersey. I joined the Air Force, as an illustrator, in December of 1961. I spent eight years in the service, including one year in South Vietnam, 1968, graphically documenting all Airlift Operations in country. After leaving the service in 1969, I spent the next 38 years in Newspaper Advertising, retiring in 2008. All my life I’ve painted watercolors. I have been doing outdoor shows since 1990. Doing more each year since retiring.
