Louise Truslow is a painter and glass artist based in Southeast England.

Her life is full of passions – and art in various forms has always been part of it.  Not

that she expected to find herself working full time as an artist – after failing her

Art A Level, she followed another passion and took a degree in Performance Arts

instead.  But art was always there in the background and whilst living in Thailand

in the 90’s she finally took up the paintbrush again – and a year later was

exhibiting with her teacher.

After several years of experimenting and developing her watercolour style, Louise

broadened into oils, charcoals, bronze and glassmaking.  She continued to exhibit,

both in Thailand and London.  To date she has exhibited 28 times, including 21 solo

exhibitions.

Art consultant and curator, Mariana Atkins says of her painting: “Louise has

explored different techniques and media in her growth and evolution as an artist.

Her watercolour style is loose in its application of paint, whilst being strong in

compositional line.  Louise’s watercolours are rendered with a light touch, which

brings out the natural vitality and luminescence of the subjects. Louise is

particularly successful in her use of the negative space in her paintings and

utilizes the blank canvas to great effect.  In her oil paintings Louise pays careful

attention to the play of light on her subjects and employs strong contrast in her

colours to achieve this.”

Louise is now based in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, working from her Japonica Studios.
