Profile Information
- Background
- Louisa Boyd graduated in 2001 from the Manchester Metropolitan University after studying Embroidery and showed a series of artists' books relating to landscape as her final pieces. In the same year she entered her books at the New Designers Show and won The Paperchase Future of Design Award and a high commendation from the judges of the New Designer of the Year, both highly prestigious awards. This led on to her exhibiting them in two solo shows, the first in Tottenham Court Road (Paperchase's flagship store) and then in Manchester at the sister store. She has since worked as a commercial artist exhibiting nationally and selling her paintings. Louisa works in a contemporary manner using traditional techniques. Her original paintings are highly sought after and difficult to obtain due to her very popular distinctive style. She has had her paintings published and her reproductions are virtually indistinguishable from the original with each one individually hand embellished. More recently, Louisa has begun designing and making artist books again. Her influence for her work remains within the natural world however both her paintings and books feature imagery of birds. She is also investigating and experimenting with printmaking techniques and incorporating etching, screen printing and block printing into her pieces.
