Biography
Low was born in the rural town of Stratford, Ontario and is the granddaughter of dairy farmers and sleigh builders.[3]
Although she grew up far from flourishing art scenes that could be found throughout big cities, she decided to pursue an artistic career and achieved an education both within and outside of Canada.[3]
Education
Low trained at the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design (formerly the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design) and completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) Integrated Media in 2003. She continued her education in the arts at the Royal College of Art in London, United Kingdom, and received a Master of Arts (MA) in Curating Contemporary Art, with emphasis on exhibition practice, in 2006.[3]
After taking a long hiatus from her artistic career, she found her way back through self-taught weaving and attended the Marshfield School of Weaving in Marshfield, Vermont from 2013-2014 to further sharpen her skills.
