Louise Garcia’s life journey weaves together a love of the natural world with creative writing and theatre performance work. She spent over twenty years stimulating young imaginations in her teaching career, alongside creative endeavours in community theatre and local broadcasting.

I am a multi-media artist making sculptures, basketry and arts projects for a variety of settings. I work to commission and with community groups, creating site-specific projects and artworks. My Public Art Sculptures are well-known. 

I have extensive experience in teaching craft skills and working creatively with people of all ages. I have an open studio and gallery in a quiet rural location where I teach classes and run cultural events.

I have worked as an artist since obtaining an honours degree in art and design, at the London Guildhall University in 1996. 

I strive to make art understandable and accessible to everyone. I often bring “community” along in the creative journey for some of the artworks, thus reinforcing their understanding and ownership. 

In my work I like to combine different materials, utilising their unique inherent qualities and also honouring the craft skill for each.
