TIM LOWLY resides in Chicago, Illinois where he is artist-in-residence at North Park University. He is the son of medical missionaries and he spent most of his childhood in South Korea. He received a BFA from Calvin College.

Most of Lowly's work has focused on his daughter, Temma, who became multiply impaired after her breathing and heart stopped for a critical period after birth. Lowly's images ask profound questions about the value of being when one is incapable of doing. In addition to his daughter, Lowly has studied children at her school with various impairments and he engages the intellect to seriously consider the nature of their reality.

There is a message of hope in Lowly's beautifully rendered egg tempera paintings and they emanate a serene understanding of the spiritual nature of life. Lowly's work has been exhibited in many museums including the Decordova Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center.
