About the artist

Bold acrylic sea-life art; pen and wash, found objects and coastal decor.

Personal Statement

Since moving to the peninsula with her family 6 years ago, Louisa has discovered a passion for drawing and painting - in particular crustaceans and sea life. Pre Covid, and having not picked up a brush since school, Louisa enrolled on a course of art classes with a local artist. It was here that glimmers of ‘that’s not bad’ started to appear. During lockdown she continued her journey with the help of online tutorials, inspiration from Pinterest and trial and error.
With a passion for coastal life, Louisa’s style ranges from pencil and watercolours to bold acrylics. Alongside the art, Louisa loves collecting treasures from the beach which she uses to create coastal decor including shell wreaths, wooden fish, decoupage, pirate pictures, signs and doorstops - all with a distinct coastal and nautical vibe.
