Louise attended Wimbledon School of Art in the late sixties and early seventies, having gained her Pre-Diploma at Oxford Brooks (then Headington Technical College). She had a successful career in film and television as a costume designer, working with such actors as Benny Hill, Sir Laurence Olivier, Alan Bates and the wonderful Denholm Elliott, on such diverse programs as Kenny Everett and Agatha Christie.
Louise has shown at several galleries in and out of London while her works have been chosen for numerous editions of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.
Fascinated by nature and the 'great outdoors', Louise has a deep love of all animals and is intrigued by how the natural world echoes itself in form and shape, with some animals looking like plants and vice versa.
Louise has developed a way of recording this intimacy through her work; the images are transferable and contain multiple translations, bold yet delicate. She loves to use pure pigments, exploiting the power of crystals within the paints, frequently using lapis lazuli, kyanite, rhodonite, green apatite, black tourmaline and jadeite
