What
Lou
Offers
Lou helps artists do their best work, and in turn they help her do hers. They raise each other’s games and the winner is always the art, and therefore, of course, the audience.
Working with Lou has been a life changing experience for me. She has an amazing capacity to be your best friend yet at the same time tell you what works and what doesn't in the piece you are making. Her constant attention to detail about what is being created, and why, has forced me to understand my own work and practice at a level I never knew existed.
