Sometimes we can explore that silver lining and choose to see our future through a broader lens. Born and raised in Solihull, UK, within a family of artists, circumstances made for the pursuance of a more practical, reliable direction as, although enviable, a career in art was deemed an undervalued, unviable dream. Following Solihull College and University Centre for three years, highly motivated, Louise enjoyed working around the country, primarily in London, within fashion shows such as London fashion week, magazines, TV and fashion campaigns for NEXT, Marks and Spencer’s and Richards. A family and three businesses later, with a proven history of advanced practical skill and creativity and, self motivated pursuance of further education to include: BA foundation - Open University CAVA and TQUK in education and assessing, Louise decided to take her chances as a full time artist . “Art, through physical expression, allows me portrayal of my concepts and ideas however small they may feel amongst the mighty” Inspired by the beauty of the human form. Louise believes that every piece created ‘bares the soul’ through contemplative , physical expression, to captivate the myriad of human emotion. Hidden images and stories within most pieces , create the narrative that hopes to evoke discovery ; allowing the viewer to evolve the story as their own. Inspired by the erotic and biomorphic works of Cecily Brown and, the raw, intense, expressive lines of Schiele, I enjoy strong, rich, vivid colours, giving sculpted and fragmented backdrops for more delicate brush lines. Unlimited mediums, figurative, modernist, contemporary, abstract; finding beauty in human form, when painting it is all that seems to make sense. My love of expression has driven me to explore becoming a serious artist.
