My intention as a painter of abstract art is to share a sense of wonder, curiosity, and joy with the viewer. Color is a key component along with the interaction of shape, line and space. My work often reveals suggestions of animal and human figures that allow the viewer to imagine and create their own stories. I am painting mine: my fascination with mystery, nature, spirituality, wilderness, wild things and places. The untouched ~ the places I long to roam. I travel as I paint.

Intuition guides my decisions resulting in a freedom of expression and a sense of being in flow. This is a beautiful state of focus and enjoyment and excitement around the act of painting. It has a meditative quality as time passes without notice.​

​

Brian Rutenberg, one of my many favorite artists,expresses it this way: “ Art happens when the intellectual and visceral collide head  on at 200mph; when thinking and feeling smash so violently into one another that they fuse into a third thing.”

Painting is a process of exploration and discovery. It allows me to remain a student, always experimenting, not attached to the outcome. I am often very surprised at what shows up. The freedom to explore and embrace a childlike sense of wonder is essential. Michael Mew said, “ The meaning of a piece often becomes apparent only in the end. It’s like finding a secret message that you unknowingly sent yourself.” I consider the process of making art a conversation with the universe.

Abigail Dowd is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music weaves together the rich tapestry of her Southern roots, personal experiences, and a deep connection to the natural world. Raised beneath the longleaf pines of North Carolina’s Sandhills region, Dowd’s upbringing instilled in her a profound appreciation for storytelling and the healing power of music.

Her journey into music was not linear. After working in city politics and running an art school, Dowd felt a calling to reconnect with herself and her heritage. She packed her great-grandfather’s guitar and embarked on a transformative journey through Florence, Italy, Ireland, and Maine. What began as a brief respite turned into an eight-year odyssey of self-discovery and musical exploration.

Upon returning to North Carolina, Dowd released her debut album, Don’t Wake Me (2017), followed by Not What I Seem (2019), both met with critical acclaim. Her third album, Beautiful Day (2021), was produced by Grammy-nominated engineer Jason Richmond and recorded live with a full band at the Fidelitorium. The album reflects themes of resilience, hope, and the beauty found in everyday moments. 

Dowd’s upcoming album Saints & Warriors (Nov 14, 2025), delves deeper into ancestral memory and spiritual reflection, blending folk, blues, and gospel with an evocative, mystical edge.
