Louise Waugh is a painter and printmaker. Her still lifes and landscapes have been exhibited throughout the UK and also in America, Spain, Italy and Ireland as well as showing in the R.A. Summer Exhibition.
I have painted all my life and continue to do so and celebrate and enjoy the beauty I see in the world, from the landscapes in West Somerset to Bali, Morocco and wherever my travels take me as well as everyday objects and people in my life.
Creating art has always been core to my being, and from my early days when I studied etching in Granada, Spain, I have always taken the path of the artist and that defines who I am.
I now work in a rural studio in West Somerset painting primarily in oil and acrylic.
My practice is to draw and sketch on location as well as painting, and I then return to my studio to bring another dreaming element from my imagination to the work. Sketchbooks are essential to my process and whenever travelling my sketchbook is always with me.
The subject matter that interests me are the shapes and movement within a landscape, sometimes with a human element included. I am drawn to Cornwall and the sea, and wild places.
