Mary Catherine Lowery, an Atlanta-based artist, intertwines the realms of traditional landscapes and contemporary abstractions. Her unique use of dye and bleach create emotionally compelling pieces that aim to transport you to the depths of your mind and the recesses of your memories. Lowery’s work possesses an ethereal, dreamlike quality, achieved through an almost absent-minded approach to painting. She embraces the vastness of memory and the gentle pull of nostalgia.

At the core of Lowery’s work lies a dynamic interplay between light and dark, a fundamental duality that infuses her compositions with depth and movement. This approach is elevated through the introduction of bleach on canvas, adding an evocative sense of energy. Her work fosters an intimate dialogue - an interpretation of the emotions that reside between what is felt and what is known.

Mary Catherine earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textile Design & Fiber Arts from the University of Georgia, providing her with a strong foundation that has influenced her use of unconventional materials, and results in work that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
