Louise Richardson was born and raised in Canada and currently lives in Burlington. Her work is inspired the rhythms and colour of the water in lakes and rivers. The look of water has become a focus of her work in recent years - water’s reflection as it moves; the light that changes the colour of those reflections constantly.

The same patch of water on the same spot on the shore or dock provides endless variation of rhythm through the play of light and shadow and capturing those small moments, that change each second, is her challenge. It seems to be a metaphor for the ever-changing experiences of even the quietest of lives.

A strong, simplified style, and a rich pallet of colours are important markers of her work.  Together they lead the viewer first into the picture and then into the private and personal space of memory and reflection.
