Austin Lowrey

In 1985–86, I took classes from Austin Lowrey in graphic design at North Carolina State University’s School of Design. His approach was intuitive, provocative, sharp-eyed, often humorous, and I don’t know if he ever categorized himself as only a graphic designer. He would show us his art during class and prodded us students to become aware of design and art outside of Raleigh. Now retired, He lives in Mexico and LA and is a prolific artist who seems to post new work on Facebook almost every day. Here is a selection from Facebook, ca. April 2023.
