American artist Nova Salome (Crowder) born in 2003, creates work that reflects a contemplative spirit and a devotion to truth and beauty. Rooted in an early creative sensibility and refined through immersion in the world’s great masterpieces, her practice was further honed through classical training in Florence, Italy. She has devoted herself to carrying forward the lineage of timeless art. Guided by a philosophy of slow meditative living, she embraces both joy and suffering as integral to the creative act, finding in every mystery of life the breath of art itself.
