My paintings grow from a response to my surroundings. Man's connection with nature and each other is an important theme for me. . The underlying principle that guides my work is to bring the viewer in to the painting. I do this with the use of light and color, which evoke an emotional response that is universal.
Most often I paint in watercolor, but also explore mixed media, collage and encaustic.

Influenced by mola art, Louise is developing her own folk art language using vivid colors and image humor.
