Artist Bio

Louise graduated from Curtin University with a Fine Arts Degree in 2009. In early 2010, Louise participated in “New Works New Faces” at Gallery East and Perth Galleries, a select exhibition promoting up and coming artists in Perth. Louise’s great love of animals is a predominate theme that permeates throughout her creative work. Using a variety of mediums and techniques, Louise creates works through a layering process reflecting in a sense the diversity of layers within her own life experiences that form the foundation of her creative practice.
