Jack Fowler was born in Ada and raised in eastern Oklahoma. He worked as a journalist, school teacher, cowboy, and musician before becoming a full-time artist in 2011, and since then, his work has been shown from Arizona to Uganda. Known for his pop-art-influenced portraits and landscapes, Fowler has also created three large murals in downtown Oklahoma City, including the controversial “Bricktown Okctopus,” the first non-historical mural allowed in Bricktown. He is a freelance writer, photographer, and cartoonist, and hosts “Tumbleweeds All the Way Down,” a weekly roots music show on 91.7 The Spy. His studio is in the Paseo neighborhood of Oklahoma City.
