Christina Lowry is a Queensland based artist working in fine art photography. And yes, she has a license to collect dead things. “Don’t look in the bottom draw of the freezer!" is a common warning in her household. Christina also has a bug collection and has studied the practice of preserving and pinning bugs.

You see, Christina takes inspiration for her fine art photography from the 17th century Dutch masters. And in order to create her works of art, she goes to extreme lengths to ensure the authenticity of each composition. Such as getting replica glassware handmade in Prague and then shipped to Australia for one of her shoots.

And this extreme attention to detail is paying off. In 2021 Christina was a finalist in the Whitehall, the Gosford and the Ravenswood art prizes.

In today’s episode of Interview With An Artist, we talk about how as a 17 year old doing her fine arts degree, Christina marvelled at the mature aged students, we talk about how each of her roles a a jeweller and commercial photographer helped towards her fine art career, and we also find out just exactly how far Christina will go to get the right pieces for her composition.

Interview With An Artist is hosted and produced by radio host, arts broadcaster and artist mentor Willy (Wilamina) Russo.
