In honor of RIT’s 175th Anniversary, the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences presents a never-before-seen exhibit of the artwork by former Mechanics Institute graduate and instructor, M. Louise Stowell (1861-1930). An accomplished watercolorist and graphics designer, Stowell’s art is a brilliant blend of Japanese aesthetics with Arts and Crafts design. Along with fellow artist Harvey Ellis, Stowell developed techniques using watercolor over charcoal to achieve strong lines imbued with rich colors. As a teacher of drawing and composition, Stowell influenced Rochester’s most important artists of the period including Ada Howe Kent, Charles Livingston Bull, and Claude Bragdon.
