In her paintings and poetry today, she uses metaphor such as a tree as a symbol of humanity or a symbol of the world humanity inhabits, creating the duality of the seen and the unseen, metaphorically and in reality. Both covey a message through its subject, scale and its underlayed composition and atmosphere. 

Her art has been in museum exhibitions: The International Museum of Erotic Art (CA), High Museum of Art (GA), The Bronx Museum of the Arts (NY); solo shows, a two-person show, group and juried shows from New York City to Atlanta, GA. Her work is in numerous private and corporate collections including Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (NYC), Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville (GA) and the Dr. Pepper Company, (TX).

Her work is in the Archive Library of the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington, DC). Ms. Lowell resides in Baltimore, Maryland where she has her studio.
