scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: Janice Lowry combined her visual artwork with her writings in three sets of books she named and numbered -  art journals, artist books, notebooks, and one sketchbook.  Her art journals contain both written text and visual imagery in the form of drawings and sketches, clippings, collages, paintings, her children's artwork, etc. Artist Handmade Books are somewhat more fully executed and titled pieces, containing written text or stories, sketches and drawings, collages, and other forms of imagery.  There are notebooks containing sketches and notes primarily from art classes.  Three additional notebooks contain autobiographical essays and there is one sketchbook.
