Louise Brook (b. 1978, London) is a multidisciplinary artist, based in Northamptonshire. Louise creates abstract work from a place of curiosity, combining her love of learning and research with her artistic practice. Using storytelling and discovery she creates accessible narratives around complex themes, with the intention to inform and intrigue, sparking interest, curiosity, and conversation.

Louise is passionate about the links between art, nature and wellbeing; a fascination with psychology, the complexity and layers of the human experience, and the beauty and fragility of the natural environment are all recurring themes in her work.

Louise describes her artistic process as a dance between the intuitive and the intentional. Working predominantly with acrylics and mixed media, Louise creates depth and interest through rich layers and textural detail. Collage and layers are an integral part of Louise’s practice, creating intrigue, informing her narrative, and providing glimpses into the artistic journey.

Louise gained a degree in Psychology from UCL (2000), going on to a successful career in finance and sales, leaving this in 2019 to pursue a career in the Arts. Since 2022, Louise has exhibited in several major cities across the UK, her 2024 exhibitions include: The Mill Arts Centre, Banbury; The Heseltine Gallery, Middleton Cheney; Northants Open Studios, Lamport Hall; Nottingham Society of Artists, Nottingham; Art from Heart (NATURA), Kensington, London.
