As a mother and an art teacher, Louisa Bermingham’s artwork is an escape from an increasingly intense world of demands and pressures and injustices by being happy and calm via simple exploration of texture, light, colour, pattern and line. She is interested in drawing with paint, pushing her internal constraint of perspective and form representation. She intentionally limits the time in which she creates images as a way of capturing immediacy with her mark-making. The pressures of the world play on her time, interestingly insisting that she create manageable presentations of wonderful things, that also give pause for rest.
