Victoria Lowe was born in 1947 in Birmingham, Alabama. She was educated at the University of Alabama where she earned a BS in education in 1969. Lowe focused on painting in graduate school at the University of Alabama, where she received an MA in Visual Arts in 1971. Over the past four decades, her paintings and drawings have focused primarily on atmospheric surfaces and gradations of color. Consistent throughout this body of work is her concern with energy in its many forms and the viewer’s deep emotional response to color. She has noted that the paintings have their origin in her childhood experiences of stargazing through a telescope, and in her feeling of sublime connectedness to things beyond the physical environment and conscious comprehension. Her paintings are free of narrative or subject matter and offer viewers a way to experience the depth of their own imagination.
