EarthWildArt

Lou's multi-disciplinary practice in textiles, art, wild colour and crafting move in cyclical, intuitive and reciprocal approaches with nature. She uses foraged, found and home grown plants and materials to make dyes, inks, pigments and fibres. These inspire her symbolic pieces that express her devotion to Earth. Lou's artwork is both melancholy and joyful, speaking to our lost relationship with land and human disconnect but also the awe and wonder in nature's beauty and wisdom. It is embodied work that connects to ancestral wisdom and the complex web of life. Her ecological practice is sustainable and fosters a sense of belonging to our wild and intelligent planet we call home. The use of natural colour from plants in particular enchants her heart, spirit and imagination.

A background in Earth science, motherhood, community and shamanic practice offers Lou a unique perspective. She is called to work on behalf of nature and is passionate about sharing her modalities with others for wellbeing and creative connection. She is training as a Forest School Leader to support her nature-based community experiences and workshops.
