Louise is a versatile artist, who produces original oil paintings, limited edition prints, sculptures, illustrations, medieval images, commercial hand painted signs and commissions of all kinds. In 1979 she went on a two year Foundation Course at Batley Art College, West Yorkshire, which she completed in 1981 with a Distinction. She then studied Fine Art at Loughborough College of Art, graduating in 1984 with a BA Hons Degree. Following this she was tutored in portraiture over a three year period. She then briefly returned to education in 1991, and completed a Diploma in Graphic Design in one year. Her work has been described as Modern Gothic, Surreal and Symbolist. She is working towards her next exhibition. Details will be posted on this website nearer the time.
	Artist's Statement "Art affects us on a personal level; what may be interpreted as disturbing to one person, may be beautiful to another. The piece of art we fall in love with is the one which touches our soul and is there when we need it most." "Although sometimes dressed in a gothic, mythological or fantastical style, the subject matter of my work is modern living and our innermost reactions to it. The infrastructure of life is delicate and complex and I am forever searching for an understanding of why the world is the way it is, and our role in it." "My passions are animals, birds, nature in general, and books." "I have included a list of some of the books which I consider to have a symbolist 'thread' in them and have been influential in my work."
