Louise Boulton studied BA(Hons) Graphic Design at Middlesex University, London and has produced illustrations and designs for book publishers. The natural world, in particular botanical gardens, provides her with inspiration - the plants’ shapes and colours lend themselves perfectly for creative exploration. She aims to record the beauty in nature combined with its decorative qualities, resulting in a contemporary feel. Each artwork starts as a drawing from direct observation recording the detail and structure of the subject, they are then developed into creative compositions for a limited edition of hand produced screenprints and etchings. The screen prints are built up with many layers of individual colours, each one carefully aligned. The etchings are hand drawn on to a copper plate, and reworked may times to achieve the right tones.
