Mae Lowri yn artist arobryn sy'n gweithio o'i stiwdio yn FWCS (Stiwdios Glai Fireworks) yng Nglanyrafon, Caerdydd.
Mae hi’n creu llestri o glai tsieina a phorslen, gan greu casgliadau o gwpanau, jygiau, fasys a phlatiau sydd wedi eu nodweddu gan agoriadau lletraws a’u haddurno gyda darluniau inc a dyfrlliw.
Mae ei gwaith yn deillio o gyfeiriadau at gasgliadau o lestri ar y ddreser Gymreig, casgliadau cofroddion a darluniau bywiog o adar o gasgliadau tacsidermi Fictorianaidd. Mae'r gwrthrychau a'r delweddau hyn yn aml yn cyfeirio at ymdeimlad o le drwy adfywio iconograffig a symbolaeth, sydd â chysylltiad dwfn i'w gwreiddiau.
Lowri is an Award-Winning artist working from her studio at FWCS (Fireworks Clay Studios) in Cardiff, Wales.
She creates works in bone china and porcelain, creating collections of china teacups, jugs, vases and plates which are then characterised by slanted openings and decorated with ink and watercolour drawings.
Her work stem from references of china displays on Welsh dressers, collections of souvenirs and vibrant illustrations of birds drawn from Victorian taxidermy collections. These objects and images often refer to a sense of place by reviving iconography and symbolism, which have a deep connection to her roots.
