Timothy Lowly

Tim Lowly is an artist, curator, musician, and assistant professor at North Park for almost two decades.

He describes the Art department as small, comprising students who are motivated to grow as artists with the help of dedicated, professionally active faculty. “While the community of students is always unique, there is a persistent tendency toward a seriousness of faith and a desire to grow as artists,” he says.

Lowly also serves as director of the Carlson Tower Gallery, which features students’ work and provides them with curatorial opportunities. He also regularly takes students on field trips to Chicago’s art galleries, museums, and artists’ studios and invites professional artists to speak to his classes.

Lowly has worked as a professional artist for more than three decades. His work, which has been featured around the world, is greatly influenced by his disabled daughter. Learn more.
