louise is a vancouver-based freelance artist, designer and brand strategist
This is a mouthful. And, honestly, sometimes such an oxymoron that I question my life choices. Yet, I’ve found that my work in both fields comes most alive when combining these polarities to create collaborative, thoughtful, and sustainable work that connects with others.
In my art practise, I aim to capture my visual world alongside memories and emotion to create a piece that time-stamps a moment. Creating meaning through layers of texture, colours, and markings that feel like a humble form of poetry. Painting is my form of expression; of healing and breathing and finding a way to communicate when words fail.
With my design work my goal is to be ever curious, I thrive on creating strong and beautiful brands based on in-depth research, industry insights and cohesive visual aesthetics. I’ve been working in art and design for 9+ years honing my skills at agencies, in-house brand departments, and freelance positions. My background is in Marketing and design strategy, holding a Bachelor of Design, and most recently being the Senior Design Lead at Saje Natural Wellness.
When I’m not working on design or painting, I’m playing with my wildly joyful children, or renovating our 100 year old home.
