Heidi Lowell
Heidi Lowell is a multidisciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas, whose practice is deeply rooted in the earth itself. Harvesting site-specific soils and plant materials from across Texas and beyond, she creates her own pigments—using the land as both medium and muse. Through this tactile, elemental approach, she fosters a deeper, more intimate connection between the viewer and the land, inviting a quiet but visceral relationship with the natural world.
Raised in the rural landscapes near the Rocky Mountains, Lowell brings a rich personal history to her artmaking, one that reflects her deep engagement with nature, literature, and sound. As an autodidact with a background in both classical and intuitive painting, she strikes a balance between structure and spontaneity. Each piece begins with a considered plan, yet within that framework, she leaves space for intuition to guide the process. This duality mirrors the natural world—where systems of order coexist with moments of chaos—and allows her work to evolve organically while retaining an underlying sense of coherence.
