Photograph of the artist, K Lowe, who is white woman in her early 20s with short hair and wearing a black suit. She is standing in a gallery in front of a series of her artworks, three self-portraits which show her peeling off layers of skin and muscle to reveal internal organs which she has had medical problems relating to: uterus, lungs and hip and leg ligaments

About the Artist

K. Lowe holds BAs in Fine Art and English, and her lifelong love of books and stories has been an inspiration for her artwork from childhood. Her biggest artistic influences include Golden Age illustrators such as Gustave Doré and Arthur Rackham; Alphonse Mucha; historical fashion illustration plates; and ink artworks of the 16th century, from Da Vinci and Dürer to the pioneering scientific illustrator Andreas Vesalius, whose 1543 De humani corporis fabrica inspired the gallery show pictured above.

Themes influencing her personal pieces also include personal topics of interest related to disability, feminism, Christianity and queerness, as well as the intersections and interrelation of these topics. She hopes her works will resonate with people who share any of these experiences with her, and offer insight and sympathy into them for those who don't.
