~ Judith Lowry ~
Judith Lowry is a local nationally acclaimed Maidu-Pit River artist who describes her work as a modern extension of the tradition of storytelling that preserves her culture and family history through art.
Receiving an M.A. from Chico State University, she has shown her work in solo exhibitions at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian, the Crocker Museum and California State Indian Museum in Sacramento to name a few.
Working usually in large scale figure-narrative paintings, Judith has created a suite of smaller paintings for Lilly Vigil's Gallery in Nevada City, CA.
As a culture bearer, Judith feels a responsibility as a California Native artist to reflect her culture not only in her paintings but also in her publication of the children's book 'Home to Medicine Mountain', a winner of the 1999 American Book Award, Smithsonian Notable Book Award, Skipping Stones Award, American Library Association Award and Parent Council Award. |
