Artist Submissions – Louise Abel

Louise’s current focus is on creating contemporary watercolours with mixed media, painting utopian scenes of peace, solitude and nature. As an autistic person with sensory processing difficulties and frequent sensory overload, she finds comfort in the tiny remote houses often seen in her work and enjoys the therapeutic nature of simplicity and repetition, making colour the star of the show. Described as “a hit of dopamine”, “a visual treat” and “extremely soothing” by viewers of her work, Louise hopes that she can evoke a sense of joy and serenity in an otherwise chaotic world
