Ian Lowe’s emails to the office of B.C.’s public health officer and to his MP went unanswered but a chance meeting with a government employee was the connection the Vancouver Island artist needed to deliver his gift.

Tribute Sculpture

Shawnigan Lake School

It was a great honor to have been commissioned to create a Wolf Head sculpture in recognition of Mr. Gary Dukelow’s long teaching ,sport and mentoring career at Shawnigan Lake School.

Due to Covid-19 neither Gary or myself were able to attend the unveiling but a fantastic video was made by the students and staff.

“I am so thrilled and honored to have my beautiful hummingbird sculpture. It is even more spectacular than I had expected! It was a real pleasure to work with Ian, who kept me informed as he progressed and completed it ahead of schedule. It was also a pleasure to meet Ian, who took the extraordinary step of meeting me to deliver it in person. A wonderful experience throughout, and a very special piece of art.

Thank you Ian!”

“Ian’s art pieces are breathtaking!
I am the lucky recipient of “Delicate Balance”. It has such a special place in my heart and home. The conception and detail of his pieces are intricate and thought provoking. A true centerpiece for my art collection.
Ian and his story are equally spell-bounding. I am honored to have had the opportunity to collaborate with him for this piece. I envision his work will be well sought after for years come.”

Thank you, Ian!”

“Wow! meeting and working with a uniquely talented professional artist- Ian Lowe- is a treat. We visited his studio. He listened to our hopes and dreams for a special sculpture that would be a beautiful feature in our outdoor gardens and dining areas.
Ian drove down and visited us to see for himself how a dual whale stainless sculpture might fit and enhance. We discussed details, placement and viewing perspectives.

Then we said, Ian you are the artist we trust you, go create.

Only a couple weeks later our magnificent Humpback Whales came home. Absolutely awesome. Different highlights and colours beautifully reflect on the angles of the steel as the position of the sun changes during the day. They almost seem to be swimming.

We are so pleased and grateful to also enjoy Ian’s hummingbird creation on our outdoor dining table.

Fabulous artist. Exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. A pleasure to get to know you. Thank you so much. We would recommend anyone to commission a metal art piece with Ian Lowe.”
