Louisa creates classical figurative sculpture drawing regularly from life. Based in Wiltshire, her subjects are constantly referencing religion and mythology, which she models loosely but with a deceptive and sensitive accuracy. Louisa has work in public and private collections including Allen Overy, St. Thomas’s Hospital, Churchill College, Cambridge and Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands. Simon Allison 2012
Beliefs have been passed down through storytelling for millennia. They create the bonds that hold society together. By giving stories a physical form, I can be part of a conversation between ancient and modern societies, and even with the future.
I used rough, raw clay sourced from my husband’s farm for my degree show at Chelsea School of Art, and I have now worked in this material for 35 years. Recently, when digging, I found evidence of stone age people in the form of a carved spear head buried deep in the clay.
This year I am showing my work with Muse Sculpture at Lucknam Park, Wiltshire, and The Royal Enclosure at Ascot. I am on the Council of The Society of Portrait Sculptors, with whom I am exhibiting in The Garrison Chapel, Chelsea this August.
