VAUGHN LOWERY

ARTIST STATEMENT

‘After years of therapy, I’ve decided to turn my traumatic adolescence into sustainable artistic expression, unapologetically picking up my power tools and paint brush. Instead of constantly dumping, I’ve made a conscious effort to lower my carbon footprint by upcycling unwanted objects.

As a notable media representative, I have had the opportunity to review some of the most prestigious properties and destinations. While in the presence of both architectural and environmental design entities, I have been able to fabricate my mixed media using a transdisciplinary approach.

Creating a hotel lobby space, an immersive pop-up, and/or an art car is something I aspire to do in the future.

Overall, my commissions revolve around my newfound curiosity about neorealism, constructivism, and contemporary conservatism.

A portion of proceeds are gifted to philanthropic agencies encouraging mental health stability amongst marginalized youth.‘
