Linda Louis Art


Linda Louis is driven to make art every day …. to explore a theme
until ‘all the juice has been squeezed out.’

Asking Linda Louis to explain her work, she says, is like asking a
snail to give meaning to its shell. Louis’s paintings, drawings and three-dimensional art represent a vibrant self-contained universe
with a sky, a far horizon and no limits. You are invited to take a walk in this universe of fanciful and mysterious images. They have been nurtured by an interior life bubbling over with raw material and a rebellious yearning to build a magical world populated to overflowing.

“My world of art represents real or illusory experiences, captured before they slip away,” says the artist. “Then fragments return when
I am thinking of something else.” Louis interprets the ephemeral … makes it tangible, perceptible, concrete. Maybe you will re-discover your dreams in her work.

As in the fairytale where the children leave breadcrumbs in the
woods to mark their trail, Louis leads us into a virtual forest of remarkable visions, personalities and metaphors. But ohhh … the
birds have eaten the breadcrumbs and we are left to explore on
our own.

Come … take a virtual walk. Have an adventure!
