What I see.....
Jan Lowe, AGRA Art to me, is my interpretation of what I see and experienced - the subject will undoubtedly had had an impact, especially in the case of animals. Watercolour is stunning to work with and the Daniel Smith paints are, in my view, something amazing. Although I do love oil and pastels. I love the art of scratchboard and as a child I learned scratch using a pocket knife and painted bark, a little unorthodox, this started my journey. Later in life when opportunities were available, gained my Fine Art Degree - that was a highlight as a young adult. This site is part of my journey as an artist, and trust that you enjoyed your visit and thank you for dropping in. You are very welcome to offer comments. Jan Lowe, AGRA jan.lowe@camberwellart.com.au

Artist Statement"My art, my way!"
“My art, my way”, my art is storytelling through paintings. Capturing the feel of the place or creature, the excitement, the emotional journey. My depiction of the subject will not be perfect, it's my interpretation, with passion, portraying my thoughts and respect for the subject! My paintings in the majority are animals, sketched in the field or own photography. It’s all about storytelling, the passion and recording the moment! I see the soul of my subject; they speak to me through my brush I interpret them to the viewer. I work with a large magnifier to really see; the face is like drawing a landscape. As my subjects are individuals, I have spent time with, I feel I know them and the rear occasion I used a photographer’s photograph (once!) – I found out all I could about that subject – it’s soul and why the photograph was taken and what it meant to the taker! My art is all freehand no aids, by hand and I use the magnifier as my eyesight is poor. Art is very personal, it comes from your soul and when I teach my students, I ask them to select a subject they know and love – that makes it special, the results tell the story. Jan Lowe, AGRA |
