Louise Davies
 |
Louise was brought up in the South West of
England, mainly in Bath. Her work is based on landscape - living as a child in
such a beautiful city no doubt influenced her subject matter.
She was introduced to printmaking at the age of 16 when began her
studies at Plymouth college where she began etching in their highly
sophisticated art department. She applied to St. Martins and was immediately
accepted onto their Fine Art course, which was her first visit to London where
she has stayed ever since.
Later, in between having her three daughters, she went to Camberwell and
studied for an M.A. in Printmaking. She became a member of the Greenwich
Printmakers in 1997 and was one of the founder members of the Southbank
Printmakers (both successful artist-run galleries in London).
Her
work is inspired by places she visits or those views that surround her each day
in Blackheath and Greenwich. She has a strong sense of colour and with her
drawn line produces images pulling together an unusual relationship between
abstract and the figurative.
She has much of her work displayed in private collections such as
St. Georges Hospital and Lewisham Town Hall as well as many galleries
throughout England.
