Currently living on the Côte d’Azur, Louise Marie is a self-taught artist originating from the UK. She has always liked drawing and painting, initially with pastels, and in the past few years primarily using water soluble oil paints. Since moving to France she has been inspired by the intensity of the light and the colours and particularly enjoys attempting to capture the beauty in people and life. The lively cafés of Paris and bustling markets of the South are among her sources of inspiration.
