Lawrence Lowe is a practicing artist in Vancouver, BC, Canada, graduated from Emily Carr College of Art + Design in Print Media and has taught Print Media extensively throughout British Columbia. Lawrence has exhibited in solo and group shows and has work in private and national exhibitions.

Lawrence’s main focus is in Relief Printmaking. Lawrence teaches Relief Printmaking at Emily Carr Institute in both Continuing Studies and Degree Programs and also teaches private lessons on request.

Relief Printmaking

Lawrence uses wood and linoleum blocks in the relief printmaking process. The image is placed onto a wood or linoleum block and carved. Ink is rolled across the surface of the block and then paper (usually mulberry paper) is then placed on the surface of the block and the paper is burnished with the back of a spoon or barren and the impression is pulled from the surface of the block.

Ink Drawings

Lawrence uses mostly Pigma Micron (archival ink) for his drawings. Lawrence is known for his drawings of trees and is now working on a series of drawing and prints of the South False Creek area of Vancouver, with a major focus on the Burrard and Granville Street bridges.

Lawrence has been commissioned to work on a variety of drawings with emphasis on trees, boats and scenes of Vancouver. If you are interested in discussing a commission, please contact Lawrence Lowe.
