My art is a translation of the environment that surrounds me. The energy I receive from nature produces a desire for me to create and share my interpretations with others. Many of my sculptures intertwine mediums such as, wood, rock and steel.
Combining the natural elements allows me to feel connected to my subjects. Collecting these pieces is part of the process.
Many years of welding and hand forging steel has unraveled into what you see in my art today, limitless expression of multiple mediums.
Sharing has always been a very important part of who I am as a person and art has gifted me this ability.
Ian Lowe is a talented First Nations metal artist and sculptor whose passionate connection with the natural environment of Canada’s West Coast shines through his work.

Each of his pieces is handcrafted and detailed, commanding a high standard of excellence and skills that combine 30 years in the Welding and Fabricating Industry with the keen eye for art and design.
