Born in Devon in 1961, Louise grew up in rural Surey. After a foundation year at Brighton Polytechnic, she graduated with a Fine Art degree from Norwich School of Art.
Initially specialising in equestrian and animal portraiture, Louise moved to London in 1990 and began to experiment with more free and flowing styles of painting enabling her to recreate a sense of movement in dancers, horses and children.
Louise uses oil and charcoal to emulate the sensation of movement. The use of colour is vital to her paintings; used to exagggerate a gesture or emphasise the glamour of a situation. Often she splashes colour on to a painting to give an added feeling of unity to a piece of suggest a sense of direction. Louise's paintings and drawings are flowing and distinctive and it is no surprise that she has enjoyed success at many exhibitions.
