Louise Dougherty

Interplay

Louise Dougherty is a Norfolk-born artist (b. 1979, Great Yarmouth) who lives and works in Norfolk. Her practice encompasses painting, drawing and thread work, exploring landscape and still life themes of connection and memory inspired by the Norfolk landscape. The use of thread has become quietly integral to her practice — as a female artist, her exploration of 'Thread' represents historical, cultural and personal matriarchal symbolism. Her work explores the female narrative and the potential benefits of true equality, asking poignant questions of the modern female experience.
