Now, he’s taking his art in a new direction.

Bowen, based in Wichita, is using a variety of mediums to showcase his images, using metal, canvas, metallic paper and fine art paper.

His fine art business will be marketed through Paul Bowen Photography.

“Before, the choices were satin or glossy” for photos, said Gail Bowen, Paul’s wife. “(Paul) got excited about the new mediums.”

It’s taken six or seven months of planning.

Bowen is also offering a package for airplane owners who want to have their airplanes photographed.

His art work is on display through May 21 at Reuben Saunders’ gallery at Piccadilly Square at Central and Rock.

The gallery will be open from 6  to 8 p.m. on Friday as part of Final Friday.
