Lowell’s studio practice is shaped by contemplative ritual.
An avid reader, she draws steady inspiration from literature, alongside her
ongoing studies in biology, gardening, and music. Her paintings often hold
penciled notations—fragments of text or melody—layered into the surface like
quiet echoes. These details, subtle yet intentional, lend her work a narrative
richness that rewards close looking.
Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Yellowstone
Art Museum and the Old West Museum. Among her many accomplishments, she takes
particular pride in her watercolor illustrations created for the University of
Texas, which were selected as cover art by the Journal of BioPhysics. Lowell’s
practice honors the serene and the unruly, the structured and the
spontaneous—offering a meditative space where the complexities of the natural
world reflect those within ourselves.
