Louise Davies was born in Swansea. She was brought up in the South West of England, mainly living in Bath. She now lives in Blackheath in London.

Her influences are Goya, Turner, Ivon Hitchens and Craigie Atkinson. She studied Painting at St Martins in the 1980's and later went to Camberwell where she studied MA Printmaking and graduated in 1993. During this period she became a mother and had three girls but managed to continue working from home. She now works fulltime from her studio in Brixton which she shares with five other Professional Artists.

Her work is concerned with places and landscapes she has visited from the past and present. She is also interested in the natural light and the effect it has on the landscape. Her Paintings and Prints evolve from sketches and ideas which she then works on in her studio. Often she will not know how the end product will appear. The strong individual line she uses, along with the vibrant colours is an intuitive response which has developed from years of putting images together in a visual field.

Her work is exhibited throughout England and Northern Ireland. She has work in Private Collections such as St Georges Hospital (London) and the Citi-group (Canary Wharf.)
