Louise Braithwaite discovered her talent for art and design at school, where she specialised in screen printing. Louise having completed an Art Foundation Course at Portsmouth College of Art, she embarked on a 4 year Degree in Media and Production Design at the London College of Printing.
After graduation in 1991 Louise Braithwaite spent several months travelling around Central America, which was to have a strong influence on Louise's distinctive use of both colour and shape.
Returning from her travels, Louise Braithwaite settled into a career in graphic design back in London. Although Louise's creative talent was effective in the commercial world, she was keen to strike out as a designer and artist in her own right, and spent her free time producing handmade cards and illustrations which were successfully sold through a number of retail outlets including Harvey Nichols.
Then in May 1997 Louise Braithwaite moved to Hampshire and decided to go it alone as a full-time professional artist.
Over the past six years Louise Braithwaite has developed a style of painting which, although expressive, is firmly rooted in her design background.
Louise Braithwaite's high-impact oils on board are predominantly figurative; they encapsulate the energy and buzz of a crowded scene in a manner that is both stylised and beautifully observed.
The overwhelming love of the sea which took Louise back to the South Coast is reflected throughout her work, but we can also see a great affection for human interaction in a variety of social and public situations.
Since turning professional Louise Braithwaite has not looked back. Louise's artwork is currently showing in prestigious galleries all over the country (including the Harrods Picture gallery) and she has a number of celebrity admirers, the best known of whom is Martin Clunes.
