Louise was born in the Big Bend country of West Texas. Her childhood was spent in that sere plain painting and drawing from an early age. She earned her BFA from Otis Art Institute in 1993, in painting and sculpting. She lived in Los Angeles and San Francisco until moving to Ohio in 2001, and has since returned to San Francisco where she has a studio.

Her painting and sculpture focus around the centering line of tension found between the effects of our contemporary technologies and the inner, often hidden desires of the human soul.

Louise works mostly in oils, beeswax, birch, linen and canvas. Her award winning work is found across Australia, the United States, Canada and Europe.
