Art is love in motion

 In this quickly changing world, creativity is our birthright and our secret superpower.

A vehicle for self-discovery and a soulful path toward collective healing,

creative expression is not a luxury; it’s a necessity.

Let’s create something beautiful together…

ABOUT FLORA

Flora Bowley (pronounced bowl-lee) is an internationally celebrated painter, author of four books, and visionary guide known for her innovative and embodied approach to intuitive art-making and her signature blend of life-art practices.

Flora’s work is rooted in the belief that creativity belongs to all people and that creative expression opens channels for more aliveness and connected ways of being in our ever-changing world.

Blending over thirty years of professional painting experience with her experience as a movement and breathwork facilitator, bodyworker, mindfulness practitioner, and lifelong truth seeker, Flora’s popular in-person retreats, online courses, FREE FLO community, and books have empowered a global network of brave painters while creating a holistic movement in the intuitive art world.

Flora’s paintings are vibrant, layered explorations of color, movement, and spontaneity, often exploring the inner and outer landscapes of the human experience. Her work has been shown in galleries and featured on unique products around the world.

Currently, Flora is stewarding a 20-acre retreat center an hour outside of Portland, OR.
