Pastelist and remarkable color queen, Beth Lowell splashes the inner psyche with a divine flow on the New Jersey coastline. Lowell's artistic insight shines outside her being and into the external world of letting go. Lowell and I had the opportunity to chat on the phone about her creative process and where the mind goes when in the flow of creating. Her words reflected a Buddhist understanding of releasing worry and connecting with the oneness of nature.
The impressionistic style allows Lowell's mind to flow in a state of beginners mind, embracing impermanence. Lowell's work celebrates the energetic spirit within animals and the organic movement of nature. Her color scheme shines light on fluidity. Lowell's pastel works resemble delicate oil paintings. The genius blending of colors makes Lowell's work a poetic, visionary conversation. Lowell finds herself creating in nature and holding space for the inner artist to emerge as she lives in the moment. Her pastel work translates as a marvelous soundtrack to natures song within the universe. The hum of the universe is found within her landscape and animal pieces. The balance of timelessness and simplicity evolve within Lowell's art. One can feel the creative, organic passion in each piece. The language of creating allows Lowell to understand the connection with the philosophy of being one with nature. Lowell continues to conceptualize this divine connection to understand how the individual is a part of nature. Written by Sarah Opat Find more art by Beth Lowell on her website here.

It's a wonder how this art comes from this soul, this life. This journey is always evolving and transforming into new emotions, vibrations, and ideas. I feel grateful to let my art evolve as much as I do, spiritually and personally. I find answers in the questions my subconscious leaks out as I paint/create. There's divine moments when I paint abstract colorful images that release my soul's deepest questions - just to find the answer through painting. There's an odd, delightful, fruit punch flavor of each download that arises through painting and releasing emotion. (I find myself) receiving answers to my subconscious' questions EVERY TIME I PAINT. I feel my spirit come alive when I paint abstract at the flick of a wrist. Creating with a free flow reminds my soul to feel alive. I feel like the questions I didn't even know I have are answered through paining abstract, free flow color. Thankful my parents gave me paint and crayons as a little blonde poof of hair. I am eternally grateful to grow up in a household where coloring and making art was an everyday thing. I am thankful for my three older sisters to create by my side. There's so much to learn in this life and I feel I've been blessed to learn about art from the very start. Thank you friends, creatives, and fellow supporters. Creating with divine intention to be free keeps my soul alive - makes me remember the exact reason my soul is on this planet, to create. The web of the universe allows one to move and groove with an effortless flow of consciousness. The human experience lives for the sake of being and evolving. The Tibetan Book of the Dead talks about the human experience as being a "between voyager". I view this as a way of seeing life as a constant, ever changing act of movement, we travel. We are always experiencing life's moments from one train of though to the next, we travel, literally and figuratively, we move onward. The between state is the essence of being alive. Before we are born into this world and after we die, we are no longer human. We are the universe experiencing life itself. The simplicity of breathing becomes a blessing and magic all at once.
The between voyager is a metaphor for being alive in this human body. We are in this between state, the between is before we die and leave this body we are a between voyager until the next transition. Reading The Tibetan Book of the Dead has opened up my understanding of life as we know it and what is to come after the human experience is over. I decided to get the words, "entre voyaguer" - between voyager translated in French tattooed on my body for the sake of understanding I am always going to be moving onto new waters. We are meant to experience this life as a between voyager and I am deeply grateful to have this creative life to express thoughts, feelings, and release any fears into every day art. |
