Fowler's most notable work includes her series of texts appropriating Gertrude Stein's poetry, and her portraits of male hustlers in New York and Los Angeles in the 90s. Identifying as a lesbian and feminist, Fowler's work tries to identify what she perceives as male biases in language and culture and reframe them around sex-positive, feminist, and queered images.

Fowler received her BA in Journalism from Temple University in 1986, and her MFA in photography from Yale University in 1992. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Hammer Museum, Yerba Buena Center, and San Francisco Museum of Art.
“Shared Women” February - April 2007
A group exhibition hosted by the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), featuring Fowler's filmworks alongside with the works of feminist artists A.L. Steiner and Emily Roysdon. Emphasis was placed on themes such as cronyism, feminism, nepotism, elements of reaffirmation that depended on the reorganization of history from portraying ‘the women’ and ‘the gays,’ as outsiders to now insiders.
"Wimmin by Womyn who love Wymin" January - March 2006
A two-person exhibition at the Harry Levine Gallery in Culver City, California, "Wimmin by Womyn who love Wymin" featured the works of A.L. Steiner and Fowler. Both artists worked on a photo projected involving taking different pictures of the same women, juxtaposing themes depicting calm sexual subjects from rough, unmounted, and funny “snapshot porntraitrure”.
Awards
In 2007, Fowler received the California Community Foundation Award for her photographic work that compassed the variety of aesthetic approaches, disciplines, and reflected the eclectic character of the Los Angeles contemporary art scene.
