Eleanor Lowden

ARTIST’S BIO

Eleanor began her art career while living in Toronto. She studied fine art at the University of Western Ontario, and continued her studies at the Ontario College of Art and then at the Alberta College of Art. Throughout her career she has participated in various workshops and artist retreats to further her learning.

She has embarked on a "Paint Canada" journey this year. So far, her travels have taken her to the harbor towns of Newfoundland, the Pacific Rim coastline of British Columbia, as well as the canola fields of Alberta. She hopes to find her way to the prairies of Saskatchewan, the Maritimes and to Algonquin Park in Ontario in 2014.

Her work is impressionistic, vibrant and loose. She explores our daily surroundings, the people we meet, and our everyday activities. You can find her paintings in various galleries across Canada. Please check her website at www.lowdenpidgeon.com.

Eleanor teaches painting workshops in both acrylic and watercolour at various venues in Calgary and Alberta. She has recently released an instructional DVD called “Courageous Watercolor”, available for purchase on her website and art supply stores.
