Critical reception
Denis Keogh wrote that Lowdermilk "continues to challenge the notion of what an artist's book can be through her own practice as a printmaker and book artist." The Seattle Times noted that in the Tacoma Art Museum "Ink This!" exhibit, "There's even a zoetrope by Susan Lowdermilk that you can spin, sending her prints of rocking horses into motion." Eadem Mutata Resurgo ('I rise the same but changed'), one of Lowdermilk's art books based on Jacob Bernoulli's miraculous spiral, was called the "star of the show" by Art Voice of Eugene. It was also the subject of Richard Taylor's analysis of virtual fractals and "persistence of human vision to bring virtual fractals to life... incorporating her prints of fractal patterns into zoetropes and phenakistoscopes." She serves as a juror for exhibitions of artist's books. She has said of her work, "We often take for granted what we experience in our daily lives. Through my artwork, I attempt to show the ordinary as extraordinary. I focus on personal subjects, namely my family and my surrounding environment."
