My name is Louise and I have been experimenting with creating and creativity for almost my whole life!  When I was a child, my mother kept us in plentiful art supplies and creative encouragement.  In high school, I took lots of art classes; painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics.  I went on to major in art in college, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art.  My main focus has always been, mostly two-dimensional work, with the occasional sculptural element.  Over the years I have remained faithful to my art-making practice; sometimes more than others, but always something.  Even if it is just sketching.  In fact, I find sketching to be very therapeutic.  Especially, with freshly sharpened pencils.  I'm always striving to find my creative voice; to join together that perfect balance of imagination and reality (whatever that means).  I want to follow and act on the thread of my own inspiration and creativity and also to inspire others to find their individual expression.
