Louise Sharps
This is where you can find out more about how I create my paintings.
I'm an expressive landscape artist living in the county of West Sussex, in the U.K. I work in Mixed Media using a variety of materials and tools.
My inspiration for my work comes from the natural world, the wildflowers, woodland and hills of the South Downs. I also enjoy exploring along the coastline and creating paintings in response to being in that particular place.
By using all of my senses; sight, sound, smells and how I am feeling I walk through the environment absorbing my surroundings on a deeper level. Rather than creating an obvious literal painting of the view, I am trying to express in my work the physical feeling I experience from being in that landscape.
Taking photographs and then exploring ideas in my sketchbook is an important part of my practice. This forms a starting point which leads to further exploration in my studio where a more intuitive method then starts to develop. This results in a series of paintings that are both evocative and atmospheric.
Owning one of my paintings gives you the opportunity to have the feeling of nature in all its colour and energy in your home.
