Wesley Ethyn Bowers

Wesley Ethyn Bowers, known professionally as WEB, is an interdisciplinary artist, focusing on their abstract expressionist paintings and contemporary jewellery, whose work is characterised by vibrant colour, intricate line work, and powerful conceptual depth.

As a painter, WEB is known for their energetic canvases that utilise high-saturation acrylics and hidden imagery to explore complex narratives. Their unique jewellery practice translates this aesthetic into wearable art, featuring intricately pierced metals with colourful enamels, rich textures, and a signature coral-inspired motif.

Though primarily a self-taught artist, WEB has refined their metalsmithing through targeted workshops and is currently enrolled in the professional jewellery program at Haywood Community College.

WEB's work has been featured in exhibitions across Western North Carolina, including shows at Pink Dog Creative and the Haywood Handmade Gallery. Their profile has been featured in regional publications, including Rapid River Arts and Culture Magazine and Mountain Xpress, as well as on WLOS TV. WEB's paintings and jewellery are held in private collections worldwide.

They currently reside in Canton and create out of their studio in Waynesville, North Carolina.
