ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This was painted using an old family Polaroid as reference. It was my Uncle's 21st birthday party (in the white shirt) that was being thrown at my grandparent's house. The woman strutting her stuff in the purple mini dress is my mum. I love the energy in this picture - I wonder what they were dancing to? My bet is The Rolling Stones or Bowie... It looks like it was a great party!

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.
