Louise Knowles
Louise Knowles is a Sydney-based painter known for her luminous colour, layered surfaces, and deep connection to the landscape. Her work — shown in galleries across Australia — sits at the intersection of abstraction and landscape, not trying to represent a place, but to hold the emotional experience of being there.

She returned to painting seriously in her early 50s, and hasn’t looked back.
She first began working large when her gallery delivered two-metre-square linens to her studio and said, simply, “We’d love to see your work at scale.” She had to figure it out. Now she’s sharing exactly how.
