The layered forms evoke the strata of mountains or sedimented earth, each band of pigment charting the slow accumulation of time. Within this composition, structure and movement coexist: the hand-drawn repetition suggests geologic order, yet the translucency of watercolor allows for fluidity and change.

Lowell’s use of watercolor underscores her sensitivity to impermanence. Each wash of pigment, diluted, absorbed, or diffused, becomes a record of gesture and restraint. The palette, drawn from muted earth tones and mineral hues, conveys both the quiet warmth of natural light and the enduring presence of terrain.

Rooted in her broader practice of working with soil- and plant-based pigments, Lowell’s approach to painting reflects a deep material engagement with the land. Her work moves between observation and abstraction, translating the physical language of geology into a visual meditation on rhythm, time, and connection to place.

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
