Artist | Printmaker | Louise Davies
About Louise
She is a professional, contemporary painter and printmaker who has been creating from a young age. She is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers where her work is on permanent display.
Her work is concerned with landscape, colour and line. She depicts nature and the way the light and weather affects the feelings of the day through the use of translucent colour and fluid, impromptu lines. Louise is inspired by artists such as Rothko, with his strong use of colour to communicate a mood, and Miro with his whimsical use of lines.
Louise's printmaking style is incredibly experimental when it comes to printmaking techniques, using a diverse range from aquatint to collagraph and more. She starts with a strong line drawing directly from her sketchbook, often makes intuitive marks combined with a good use of colour to achieve an overall pictorial balance.
