Biography Back to top

Louise creates research based, textile artwork that narrates hidden stories and memories, protecting and honouring them through stitch.

Exploring connection to identity, people, personality and changing personas her work uses deconstruction and reconstruction techniques to tell the quirky, often overlooked stories and facts, re-building pieces much as a story is told and retold.

Materials are central to Louise's work; it is essential to her that they further the narrative and emotion behind the pieces. To that end, non-traditional textile materials are often selected including wood, metal and found items.

Louise has worked to commission for private and corporate clients, narrating and sharing their stories through stitch.

Passionate about art being for everyone, Louise leads impactful community arts projects, along with teaching bespoke workshops for small groups.
