About Louise's textile art practice

With a deeply empathetic approach and love of words and stories, Louise expresses lived or imagined perspectives, through her word-based textile art.

Drawing on the rich heritage of women’s work, Louise creates contemporary banners and often scales up her own handwriting to celebrate personal stories, tenderness and vulnerability.

Louise is interested in the intimate relationship we have with textiles, instinctively knowing how a fabric will feel, its weight and texture. She is particularly drawn to silk and velvet for their relationship with light.

Louise exhibits across the UK and is a member of the Collective Studio 25-26 at The NewBridge Project and NEEDLE North East Textile Artists.
