Beck Lowry (b. 1980, New Haven, CT) is a mixed-media artist whose intricate, wall-hung abstractions explore themes of protection, labor, and lineage. Drawing on the language of the natural world and on canonical histories of craft, Lowry’s assemblages are made of carved plywood, woven with crochet thread, and layered with oil paint, fabric scraps, and other materials. The artist's process arises from a need to build, to exert physical energy through ritual, and to connect to a long history of makers—from ancient stone carvers and weavers to the carpenters, boat builders, and jewelers in their own family.  Blending tradition and innovation, Lowry explores the evolving relationship between craftsmanship and narrative meaning and a curiosity about the power of objects to embody memory, resilience, and transformation.

Lowry has exhibited in New York at Future Fair, Elijah Wheat Showroom, Art Miami, Select Fair, and Volta, in New Haven at Fred Giampietro Gallery, and in Los Angeles at Klowden Mann. They will be a participating artist in The Aldrich Decenniel: I am what is around me from June 2026 to January 2027. Their work has been featured in Maake Magazine and New American Paintings, and reviewed in Artforum. Lowry has completed residencies at Millay Arts and Interlude and was a 2024 Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program Resident. Their work has been acquired by numerous private art collections and is part of the collections at Gateway Community College and Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, CT. Lowry holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and a Certificate in African Studies from Smith College. Lowry lives and works in Connecticut.
