Writing

Hello, I'm Louise 

​

Welcome to my online portfolio for my writing.

​

My online portfolio demonstrates my commitment to clear, concise, and engaging writing, which invites the reader in. I have written for multiple purposes, from academic essays, to marketing emails and social media content, to writing about my practice as an artist.

 

 I am a proficient and confident writer, unafraid to tackle a new subject. My art practice attests to my creativity and imagination, and I strive to think critically and analytically in order to find better solutions and new perspectives to problems.

Bio

Louise discovered painting and art during her education and has developed her practice ever since throughout her twenties. Simultaneously, a love of Literature and writing led her to complete her BA in English at the University of Exeter in 2016. Further inspired by her passion for art she later completed a Master’s in History of Art at the University of St Andrews in 2018.

Statement 

 

I have long been interested in painting for its ability to enable the play and exploration of forms for their visual and metaphorical sake. 

 

Combined with this has been my interest in the idea of the ‘body and the landscape’ and in particular how the female body is shaped by environments. 

 

I return to ideas of landscape, the figure and ecological abstraction, to create new works melding these elements together, with more of a focus on the female figure. 

 

With my paintings I wish to evoke questions about human interactions with nature, the relationship with different environments, freedom, spirituality, and the inner life. 

 

The figures depicted are all imaginary, in order to suggest ideas of timelessness.

 

I have long been interested in painting as a means to imaginative play and in so doing, what the results produced say about the artist, the time in which they work, and the influences that manifest into their artworks. 

 

Using my preferred medium of watercolour for its fluidity and flexibility, the material itself acts as a metaphor for flux, dissolution, and the temporality of life.
