Alison Lowry
Alison Lowry is a glass artist living and working from her studio, ‘Schoolhouse Glass’ in Saintfield, Co. Down. In 2009 she graduated from Ulster University with an Honours degree in Art and Design. Since then she has won numerous awards including first place in the category, ‘Glass Art’ at the Royal Dublin Society in 2015 and 2009, the Silver Medal at the Royal Ulster Arts Club’s Annual Exhibition in 2010, the Warm Glass Prize in 2010 and 2011 and more recently the Bronze Award at Bullseye Glass’ exhibition for emerging artists, ‘Emerge’. Alison exhibits nationally and internationally, and her work is held in several public and private collections.
In 2016 the National Museum of Ireland acquired a large pâte de verre vessel for their ‘Contemporary Collection of Design & Craft’ and have recently also purchased the sculpture, ‘A New Skin’ for the collection. Alison Lowry is currently the only Irish artist to have been awarded a month long residency (April 2014) at the Studio of the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass in upstate New York.
Her current solo exhibition, ‘(A)Dressing Our Hidden Truths’, is inspired by such traumatic histories as the Tuam Mother & Baby Home, domestic violence and Ireland’s Magdalene Laundry system. It runs at the National Museum of Ireland- Decorative Arts and History Division, at Collins Barracks in Dublin until the end of 2020.
Oonagh McAteer and Zara Lyness, Buoy Park Art is a podcast full of chat about art and artists in Northern Ireland and beyond. Meeting on the Fine Art Master’s Course in Ulster University, Oonagh (BA Photography) and Zara (BA Fine Art) started the podcast as a relaxed platform to encourage inclusive discussions about art and artists and to extend a support network to independent and rural artists at all career stages. The podcasts include invited guests talking about their work and interests and introducing different topics each week, along with the ups and downs of the life or an emerging artist.
