Louisa Morgan is an artist who specialises in painting and print making as well as experim enting through mixed media. Louisa\, originally from Altrincham in Cheshir e\, moved to Southport 7 years ago and discovered Southport Contemporary A rts and the gallery in Eastbank Street by chance whilst exploring the town . A qualified Art Teacher\, Louisa began making her own art again after a break from professional practice.\n“I aim to make original art accessibl e to everyone and to share my skills\, knowledge and enthusiasm.”\nLouis a currently teaches Art to young adults with a range of learning disabilit ies and has recently started getting back into her own arts practice after taking time out from teaching and having her first child.\nThe Covid-19 p andemic has provided Louisa with even more new challenges and parameters d uring lockdown.\n“There have been a lot of changes to everyone's lives r ecently that we could never have imagined. Some good changes\, some bad ch anges and some just weird.”\nLouisa’s work has seen a subjective chang e in direction. Much of her past work had been mono-chromatic and based ar ound the subjects of portraiture and urban landscape. However\, in more re cent works\, this has now been turned on its head\, increasingly being inf luenced by nature and especially colour - pushing herself away from tradit ional subject matter.\nThe natural beauty of small birds\, with their brig ht and striking colours\, has been a particular inspiration for Louisa.\n “For the theme of birds (which I started before Covid-19 was even a conc ern)\, I've enjoyed working on some mixed media hummingbirds using a mix o f pens\, pencils\, water-soluble pencils and watercolour paints. They're s uch beautiful tiny creatures.”\nRecently she has further explored using mixed media to create a series of abstract works responding to nature by f ocusing on colour and the fluidity of mark-making.\nSouthport Contemporary Art’s director\, Norrie Bewick-Calvert\, confirms:\n“Louisa’s work is a pretty and delicate collection that pulls together her enjoyment of c reating unique watercolour paintings &\; handcrafted prints. These are complimented by her quirky jewellery.”\nThis exclusive showing is defini tely not one to be missed. Louisa’s charismatic artwork will be on displ ay at the ArtHouse\, Eastbank Street from 29th August – 3rd October 2020 . The gallery is open Tuesday – Friday 10.00-15.00. Saturday 11.00-16.00 .\nIn line with Government advice\, the SCA team have introduced strict me asures to keep visitors to the Gallery as safe as possible: There will be a policy of 2 visitors at a time\, with social distancing once inside\, an d hand sanitize dispensers at the door to use on arrival.
