Painter and actress Susan Lowe was an original member of John Waters' Dreamland Studios, and appears in most of his films. A former professor at MICA and University of MD College Park, Lowe experienced serious health problems in 2006 which for months kept her mostly confined to a bed in the living room of her Baltimore rowhouse. To keep her sanity, she scribbled lurid crayon portraits of mostly imagined characters - pimps, whisky priests, bad girls and hustlers-and posted them in a murderer's row that soon filled entire walls.
