Assemblage Artist Creates Functional Art, A Great Way to Bring Soul To Your Home
Lauretta Lowell, a local Palm Desert, CA assemblage artist, is now adding ‘Functional Art' to her catalog of unusual creations.
"Functional art is something which is both beautiful and useful. It lets you bring incredible works of creativity, whimsy and beauty into our everyday lives," Lauretta Lowell, assemblage artist explains. "My home is full of my wall art and sculptures and I was running out of room. So I decided to start turning my functional furniture into art too. When people see my Frida Kahlo Chair they are blown away! Everyone needs furniture, so why not buy furniture that's art? It nurtures our soul to have it in our homes."
Lowell's assemblage art is sold through her company, Whimsical Curiosities. She mixes antique and vintage findings, producing assemblage sculptures, shrines, wall art, jewelry, mosaics and now furniture with the intention to capture your curiosity, make you smile and feel you are experiencing something you have never seen before. Her creations are considered Eco Friendly Art, made with recycled items.
Lowell, a resident of Palm Desert, CA since 2003, and member of the regional art community for almost 30 years, has curated art exhibits, managed galleries, and contributed her whimsical, thought provoking assemblage art to many Southern California venues including Fine Art Festivals in Santa Barbara, Brentwood, Calabasas, Malibu and Hermosa Beach where she has won several awards.
Her work has been shown and sold in Oahu, Hawaii - Michigan - Washington - Utah - Santa Barbara, Westlake, San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, and the Coachella in CA. Her eclectic projects were influenced by travels to Hawaii, Mexico, Japan, Caribbean, Tahiti, Peru and Australia. Valley Upon viewing her unique pieces, you become aware of the importance of color, bold textures, found-art and especially whimsy influencing her bohemian style of design.
