Another don't miss. Incredible talent. It is hard to believe this studio is in Anchor Point, AK but then again it is another reason why it is so amazing. Norman was in the studio and was very helpful. Loved the whole setting.
Met Norman and his wife and they are amazing, he is a true Alaskan and an unbelievable artist, what an amazing studio
Worth your time, his talent is immense and his work is unbelievable. He's nearly blind and in a wheelchair and still painting...
My husband and I were visiting friends in Homer and they told us about the Norman Lowell Gallery. It's easy to miss since it's not really advertised but we searched it out as we made the drive from Homer back to Anchorage. I am so glad we did! What a fantastic experience! This wonderfully talented man is so prolific with his art and so kind and willing to share his beauty and joy with everyone that stops to visit. We consider ourselves so blessed to have been there on a day when the great man himself was running around the gallery in his wheelchair. Other than he and his daughter, we were the only people there so he took a great deal of time telling us the stories behind the paintings. He has captured the heart of Alaska and transported it into this building off Sterling Highway. I would urge anyone to go and see the beauty of his work. Absolutely amazing.
This is a must see in Homer, Alaska. Mr. Lowell, who is likely to greet you at the door in his wheel-chair, captures the light, space, and color of Alaska perfectly. I am a semi-professional photographer and in my dreams I capture the essence of a landscape with the power and beauty of Mr. Lowell’s brush. Be advised, you will not be able to just “see” this gallery. There are hundreds of paintings displayed spanning decades of work, and you will not want to leave. If you are driving to Homer you have no excuse to miss it since its right off the Sterling Highway near the Anchor River Bridge.
If you're traveling to Homer, do NOT miss this studio and gallery. Norman Lowell and his wife, Libby, have lived a fascinating life in Alaska and celebrated his beautiful paintings (oil, watercolors and other mediums) by constructing an immense, beautiful gallery to showcase them. The gallery also highlights exquisite displays of artwork from Alaska. The Lowells have gifted the showing of all of these national treasures free to all those who just stop by to view. Don't miss this opportunity. Thank you, Norman and Libby.
We stopped at the Norman Lowell Gallery because several people had recommended it. What a treat! He was there and greeted us. There was a steady stream of visitors while we were there. He and his wife homesteaded there and he has been painting Alaska all these years. His work is magnificent. Most of it is not for sale, but some is and there were prints available, too. The gallery is a beautiful place with chandeliers, a grand piano and beautiful displays of his work. He is now blind, but his work will always portray the true beauty of Alaska.
The artwork and sculptures were fantastic. The location and its history is worth the time to visit. Beautiful art. Also great to see the original cabin on the grounds.
This gallery is amazing. I am no art buff but I love this place and the artwork is truly Alaska. Be sure to pit stop here-well worth it!
After a great lunch in Homer, we decided to check out the Norman Lowell Studio & Gallery that we had seen on our way to Homer. I tend to steer away from art galleries as I typically get bored quickly but this one was so great! Mr. Lowell has a fabulous gift of not only painting but sculpturing and carving too! He also had other works of Alaskan artists there too for us to enjoy. When we were about to leave, we saw Mr. Lowell in the gallery. Even though he is now legally blind , he is supposedly seen in the gallery almost on a daily basis. We all really enjoyed his Alaskan themed art! Too bad it was out of our price range but understandable with his caliber of talent!
