Ming C.
Lowe (born October 13, 1945) is an American painter of large-scale contemporary works on canvas and a fine art photographer.
She emerged from the most embryonic 1960s rock 'n' roll scenes to become a unique voice in the Southern California desert, where her home was a gathering place for like-minded, creatively driven individuals of all genres of the arts seeking a place of peace and inspiration amid the turbulence of what was called the counter-culture. After her work attracted and served as a source of inspiration for the likes of Eric Burdon of the Animals, Paul Butterfield, Sterling Morrison of the Velvet Underground, American Indian guitar legend Jesse Ed Davis and James Gurley of Big Brother and the Holding Company, Lowe moved from Palm Desert to the nearby Santa Rosa Mountains and began producing photographic art inspired by visits to working and abandoned Midwest steel mills; the living, breathing waterfronts of San Diego; the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta, and images of the 9/11 in catastrophes in New York and Washington, D.C.. The significance and vitality of her art is growing in national recognition as the underground she once nurtured becomes more mainstream.
Today, her work can be seen in the catalogs of Fortune 500 business and national museums and art galleries.
