Collection: SANDRA LOWE

"Born in what once was considered a small town in the Interior of British Columbia, my younger years were filled with richness found in my surroundings. I grew up amongst the orchards and vineyards of the Okanagan. My expectations of what a peach should taste like spoiled forever.

The daughter of a Chinese immigrant father, I was a bit of an anomaly amongst the predominantly European heritages of my peers - I was shy and looked different. Most days I couldn’t wait to get home to disappear for hours on my bike. In search of a beautiful place to rest, I would sit and take in the scents around me. My mind wild with imagination and exhilaration. It was this curiosity that moved me. It filled me with happiness.

As I grew older and had a daughter of my own; my desire to share these moments became a necessity. The ability to travel driving my passion. I wanted her to see the beauty everywhere she went. To feel it in her soul. To pause.

The camera has allowed me to capture a moment in time. The breathlessness I feel is what I hope to convey in my art. Focusing not on perfection but rather the emotion each experience contains."
