About

Jean Lowndes Artists Statement

Working mainly with oils and an oil palette knife, I love the impasto technique that creates mood and atmosphere. My work is impressionistic.

I grew up on the family farm in north County Dublin, I  became fascinated with nature as depicted throughout my many paintings of flowers, farm animals and woodland scenes. I enjoy working on seascapes, in which my little boats are a constant feature and fun paintings of balloons from my series, ‘Let’s Celebrate’.

After a serious fall and subsequent back surgeries, I took up painting as a hobby in 1996 when other options were limited and found it to be very therapeutic. I has been painting full-time ever since and I would describe my change of career as ‘the best decision of my life’.

My paintings are incredibly rich and inviting and are characterised by a thick and bold impasto technique and the use of layers of oil colour which creates depth mood and atmosphere. I think of them as “Bringing the Outdoors in”

In addition to my scenic representational work, I have worked with Gold, Copper and silver Leaf. This collection of work reveals a play on light. The paintings come alive with the addition of the leaf. They exude a palpable energy that imparts my passion for art and nature combined. Personal experiences with specific locations inspire my work. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets demonstrate vivid moments I have experienced, with sequences of rich pigment imitating sun rays spanning the canvas

My work is popular with collectors and art lovers, and I also have been involved in many group charity exhibitions for local causes. Recent achievements has yet to to announced. Not long now. So excited. I exhibit at the Dublin Horse Show RDS August and Art Source RDS November annualy. I had a two person Art Show in the Copper House Gallery July 2019, ‘Summer Colour Explosion’ with Jennifer Hart.  Also having my work feature on Showhouse Showdown, TV3 with Annemarie Hamill of Hamilton Interiors.

I exhibit in  Castle Crafts in Trim, Co. Meath and The Red Stables in Clontarf. I also run one day palette knife workshops. Current work can be viewed at Number 10 Design, Kelly’s Interiors Naas.  My work can be purchased directly through my website jeanlowndesart.ie.
