“I’m fascinated with the allegorical—and the real—journey of life.” So says B. C. Nowlin of his powerful, colorful paintings, many of which are included in corporate collections throughout the country, as well as in private collections by the likes of Sophia Loren and Led Zepplin. “I am told that I paint journeys,” he says. “It’s more like a place that people pass through. They’re going out of darkness, toward the light. My paintings are a journey, something that pulls you forward, that goes through time or space. I’m generally an optimistic guy, so it’s always bright in the distance. It’s upbeat; it’s enticing. I always think the best is yet to come.”

“It’s all different at night. We’re dreaming and more aware at the same time. Lights in the distance, we’re never alone.”
