Exhibition information

My art is inspired by human curiosity and nature. I am fascinated by psychology and what makes us tick as human beings, as well as the beauty of nature which surrounds us. 

As my creative practice has developed, so two distinct sides to her portfolio have emerged: bold, exciting abstracts and realistic wildlife and pet portraiture. Both of these will be on display during Oxfordshire Artweeks, so there is something for everyone to enjoy. 

I am looking forward to opening my working studio to visitors alongside an exhibition of work in my home. I will be on hand to chat about my inspiration, process and workshops that I offer. As well as a range of high quality, affordable art merchandise to browse, there will be free refreshments (including homemade cake) on offer throughout.  

 

Artist information

Louise Brook (b. 1978, London) is a multidisciplinary artist, based in Northamptonshire.

Louise creates abstract work from a place of curiosity, combining her love of learning and research with her artistic practice. Using storytelling and discovery she creates accessible narratives around complex themes, with the intention to inform and intrigue, sparking interest, curiosity, and conversation.

Louise is also an accomplished pet portrait and wildlife artist and regularly takes on commission work for this side of her practice. She is passionate about making her art affordable and accessible and to this end has developed a range of high quality, affordable art merchandise from her original work. 

Louise gained a degree in Psychology from UCL (2000), going on to a successful career in finance and sales, leaving this in 2019 to pursue a career in the Arts. Since 2022, Louise has exhibited in several major cities across the UK, her 2024 exhibitions include: The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury; The Heseltine Gallery, Middleton Cheney; Northants Open Studios, Lamport Hall; Nottingham Society of Artists, Nottingham; Art from Heart, Kensington, London.
