Dana Bowman

Dana Bowman was first introduced to MaryAnn’s philosophy of art when reading her book Preschool Art. She was pleased to find an author who felt the process of art for young children was more important than the finished product. Dana and her husband, Mike, live in Palo Alto, California, with their three children: twin daughters Heather and Elizabeth, and younger sister Karen.
