Jennifer Lowe has combined the landscapes, animals and people of her
native Montana with a unique approach to painting. Born in Missoula,
Jennifer spent parts of her childhood working in the fields of her
grandparents’ homestead property in Montana’s Grasshopper Valley. Lowe’s
paintings are rendered in the vivid color and rich texture of livestock
markers and capture the whimsical images from her imagination and the
memories of her Montana upbringing.
After graduating college in 1987 with an art
degree, Jennifer’s work blossomed. Lowe has been featured in 22 shows
throughout the west. Her work has been shown alongside well-known western
artists such as Thom Ross, Howard Post, Larry Pirnie and Donna
Howell-Sickles. She has seven pieces in the corporate offices of Patagonia
in Ventura, CA and several paintings in private collections of such
luminaries as Pater Fonda, Michael Keaton, Jeff Bridges and Nion McEvoy of
Chronicle Books.

ARTIST STATEMENT
"I think of my work as plain communication,
like cave paintings. They are simple drawings that tell a whole
story."
