The landscape unfolds in rhythmic strata, each layer a record of time, movement, and light. Soft gradients of mineral greens, dusky violets, and sun-warmed ochres trace the contours of land meeting sea, where the stillness of the horizon balances the pulse of the earth below.

Lowell’s mastery of watercolor allows both precision and surrender. Her brushwork suggests geological order, yet the fluid medium softens boundaries, allowing forms to drift and dissolve. Within this interplay of control and chance, the painting evokes a sense of meditative stillness, or a landscape suspended between observation and feeling.

Rooted in her practice of creating pigments from soil and plant matter, Lowell’s work is an act of devotion to the natural world. The materials themselves hold the essence of place, transforming each stroke into a quiet dialogue between artist and earth. The result is a landscape not merely seen but felt, where time appears to slow, and the familiar rhythms of nature become newly intimate.

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. See less
