Creating quietly.

As an author.

Brenner Lowe is an author and illustrator, living on the Tablelands of Far North Queensland, Australia, with her husband and daughter, a cattle dog named after a famous fairy, and a thriving tropical vegetable patch tended by six plump hens.

As an introspective thinker and a quiet observer, Brenner recognises the power and beauty of vulnerability, and the courage of those who possess it. With an almost intuitive understanding of the human heart, Brenner translates these profound insights into stories that are both captivating and hauntingly moving.

The Fruit of Dragons is Brenner's debut picture book for adults. She invites readers to explore the intricate landscapes of their fears and curiosities, and to ignite the power of their dreams.

As an illustrator.

Welcome to my portfolio—a collection of emotive, nature-inspired artworks created through mixed media, such as acrylic paint and collage. Each piece explores the beauty, vulnerability, and interconnectedness of the natural world, inviting moments of reflection, wonder, and emotional connection.

The scene has a cozy, small-town vibe.

As a reclaimer.

There is something deeply satisfying about giving forgotten materials a second life. Guided by curiosity and a love of making, I transform reclaimed and recycled treasures into thoughtful, handcrafted pieces—each with its own character, history, and charm. Some find their way into my online store, ready to begin a new chapter in someone else's hands and home.
