Biography:

Louise is a UK-based artist and former international educator whose work explores agency, development, and material thinking. In 2025, she completed an MA in Fine Art at Bath Spa University with distinction and is currently a resident on the Emerge programme. She has exhibited at the Holburne Museum, Bath, and at the Royal West of England Academy, including the current RWA Friends Exhibition.

Her practice centres on experimental papermaking and tactile, sculptural forms, where meaning emerges through embodied engagement with materials. Drawing on found and plant-based matter, she explores “unearthed grammars”, languages that are borrowed, broken, or veiled.
