Anika Rowe is a painter and textile artist whose work explores memory, symbolism, and the intersection of internal and external landscapes. Working primarily in oil on linen and hand-dyed natural fibers, she creates figurative compositions that blend contemporary sensibilities with traditional techniques.
Rowe received her MFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been exhibited in galleries across the United States, including solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati and the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn. She has been awarded residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and the Penland School of Craft, where she developed her interdisciplinary practice combining painting and fiber arts.
Her paintings and textiles are held in private collections throughout North America and Europe. Rowe currently lives and works in Asheville, North Carolina, where she maintains an active studio practice and teaches workshops in natural dyeing and contemporary painting techniques.
