Louisa Forbes has a degree in sculpture from the Chelsea Art School.
She blends themes of religion and mythology into her classical figurative sculpture, and is inspired by the idea of a connection with people thousands of years ago.
She uses clay gathered from her own land which strengthens the interrelation between her as an artist, her home and the people who were there before.
The coarseness of the clay dictates the way she builds and works the surface of her pieces, giving them an exciting, contemporary and individual finish married with a classical understanding and approach.
Louisa is on the council of the Society of Portrait Sculptors, a charity promoting excellence in figurative and portrait sculpture, and is a regular contributor to The Society of Portrait Artists Mall exhibition.
