Biography
Lost in a World of Intricate Observations from Nature.
Entranced by the cycle of growth and decay, Louisa captures the details on beautiful smooth Strathmore Bristol board using ultra sharp pencils. It’s quiet in the studio, distanced from the world as she looks ever closer at plants, insects and birds. Texture, shadows, silhouettes and movement created with marks and tone, it’s rarely about the colour.
Louisa discovered drawing in 2010. Winning the PURE Arts 2013 Drawing Prize encouraged successful applications to Society Open Exhibitions in London and RWA Bristol. Working from her studio in Kent she has been elected to the Free Painters and Sculptors, the Society of Graphic Fine Art and is a Fellow of the Society of Botanical Artists. Her intricate drawings continue to win prizes in Open Exhibitions and reside in personal collections at home and abroad.
