Louise Corry

Louise Corry’s striking use of colour and structural paint style makes her artwork instantly recognisable.

Growing up in rural Ireland, enveloped by fields and farmland, she developed a deep interest in and love for nature. It wasn’t long before the animals and plants that surrounded her became the subjects of her work.

Having left her home in Cork, Ireland 6 years ago Louise has enjoyed travelling and experiencing life in other countries around the world. However, it is her childhood in the South of Ireland that continues to inform her work.

Louise studied Fine Art Painting at Limerick School of Art and Design, Ireland and L'école supérieure des beaux-arts de Nantes Métropole, France earning a 1st Class Honors degree. Louise has taken part in many group exhibitions. Her work has been added to private collections such as that of the Hunt Museum in Limerick.
