Ode To Cecil by Jan Lowe

ARTIST NOTES:
This scratchboard art works is drawn as a memory of why we should protect our animals from the human predator. This magnificent creature was shot by bow and arrow, but managed to try to get away, and then after 40 hours as he was then shot by bullet, by a senseless “white hunter”. Cecil was a protected lion, he wore a special collar. He was 13 years old, lived peaceably with his pride in a sanctuary in Africa.
Like so many millions of people, I was torn apart with the slaughter of Cecil by a mindless idiot. A magical creature with such commanding features. Humans are meant to be the guardians and protectors of animals for future generations.

ARTIST BIO

Jan Lowe, AGRA

Artist Statement 2023

Jan is a realist/comtemporary artist, and her works are mainly of wildlife, and nature.  She has been a Scratchboard artist for well over 20 years, especially discovering the Ampersand products whilst workin the in the US, what a stunning product!  More recently her focus is Scratchboard but works with Watercolour on Clayboard.

Her passion is animals and nature, these subjects are ones she finds interesting and memorable.  With animals, she will investigate the dynamics of the subject, including the manipulation of its effects.  At times, rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination!  Her aim within her art is to tell a story and encourage creativity.  Such as, with an animal she believes you must know its personality, to create its vitality, emotion, passion and she uses that passion with all her subjects and records that moment.

Jan is a prize-winning artist, and has had many successes in the US, Canada, Australia, France, and Germany and she has been published in the US, Germany, France and England.  Jan is an invited judge in the US (Arizona).
