About the Artist
Max Dowdle | Artist Statement
Raised in a family of artists and craftspeople, the beauty of the human form and the artistic process was instilled in me from an early age. After earning a Fine Art and Art History double major, I studied classical atelier techniques in Florence, Italy, and have since worked as a professional artist in North Carolina. Specializing in creating public art, I believe that art should reflect and involve the community it serves. Teaching art at all levels and shepherding projects through various stages of community engagement has allowed me to share my passion for working from life and helping others develop their own unique artistic voices. As a seventh-generation North Carolinian, my love for the state inspires my work, and my portfolio includes murals, sculptures, and interventions within natural spaces. Versatility is my medium, and nature is my inspiration.
