Our guest artist for May is Louise Rawlings she will be displaying new work here at Studio 61 Gallery. Her work is always quirky, fresh and full of character perfect for spring.
Louise says:
'Since graduating in the early nineties with a degree in surface decoration, I have enjoyed a long and varied career as a freelance illustrator, working in areas such as greeting cards, calendars, ceramics, fine art and children's books.
I work in various styles but mainly acrylic/mixed media and watercolour.
I can be inspired by anything from a small magazine cutting to a walk in the park with my beautiful English setter "Alfie"
Although I live in Sutton Coldfield one of my favourite subjects to paint is our lovely British coastline, Wales being a particular favourite.'
