Louise has lived and worked in Cornwall since 1991. Her work is inspired by the beautiful landscapes and coast around her, many of which reflect her long interest in the many traces left behind by our ancestors, on or under the earth, the scars, routes and barriers.

Louise does not aim to replicate the landscape in her work but to find a sense of place, responding to observations, sketches, photos, objects, memories, emotions, weather.

Louise uses a variety of mediums to build up layers - collage papers, acrylics, oils, charcoal, ink, graphite – often combining many of these in one work. She likes to scratch and draw into the surface to give delicate and robust marks that reflect a landscape’s history. Working intuitively, Louise will often imagine a landscape using elements from her observations and research to create an image, a synthesis.
