Louise Russell
I was born in Lancashire in the northwest of England. I loved all aspects of art during my secondary school years and i was encouraged to pursue further education in this field.
I was exposed to some significant trauma during my teenage years which turned my world upside down and changed the direction i was travelling.
I moved to Adelaide in 2008 with my husband and 2 children and i have worked in palliative care since this time. Unfortunately early in 2019 my health forced me to slow down. During my recovery i have reconnected with my love of art and it has been the most magical therapy.
My first painting was 'My Beautiful'. The emotions i experienced during this paitniting were incredible and are something i struggle to put into words. I knew this painting was the start of something special. I was truly amazed that i could paint and i felt i should quickly embark on a second painitng to ensure it was not a fluke! I gained the confirmation i required and i have not stopped paitning since.
My paintings are re-framing my past and changing my future in a way i could never have imagined.
My art in both my sculptures and paitings brings me enormous joy and i hope to share some of this with you. |
