I painted this using a Polaroid photo as reference. It was taken in 1972 on a family holiday in Leysdown-on-Sea which is on the Kent coast, UK. My family (all generations) would go there often and hire a chalet, like the one in this painting. All lined up on the sofa are my two older brothers, my Nan and my Mum (in blue) who was pregnant with me. I think they must have stopped going to Leysdown after I was born as I have no real childhood memories of being there. However, painting this gave me a strange sense of belonging there with them - I guess I kinda was there.

United Kingdom
Louise is an oil painter of people, places and people in places. After completing a BA in Illustration at KIAD, she had a successful career in television production. She has now returned to painting full time and works from her home studio in Kent, UK. Her subject matter is suburban, unposed and sometimes nostalgic. Louise’s landscapes are inspired by places local to where she lives, and explore locations which are often overlooked or ignored. Her paintings begin as pen and watercolour sketches, before taking reference photos and heading back to the studio for completion in oil. The figurative work and portraits range from people she knows, photos of strangers and more recently family Polaroids from the 70’s and 80’s. Louise’s style is representational but often uses muted or ‘ever so slightly’ too vivid colour palettes together with a ‘snapshot’ composition. By doing this she intends to elevate the ordinariness of the subject matter and evoke a shared feeling of familiarity.
