Louisa Glenn

Louisa Glenn is a painter. Her work focuses on modern interpretations of traditional, geometric quilt patterns and the often delicate, but mostly bold interactions of color. She is particularly attracted to the rich history of women and quilting, and to quilting as a practical embodiment of artistic expression.

Louisa recently relocated to Charlotte after a year-long sabbatical spent traveling North America in a 30-ft trailer. She and her partner left Nashville and headed into the sunset, traveling in a giant loop through twenty-seven states and eight Canadian provinces. They explored many wonderful locales including Santa Fe, Palm Springs, the wild Oregon coast, Jasper and Banff, Prince Edward Island, Bar Harbor, and Upstate New York, devouring breathtaking landscapes and cuisines and sylvan paths the whole way. Louisa is eager to start a new body of work based on everything she saw while on the road.

Glenn graduated from the University of St Andrews (Scotland) in 2007 with an MA Hons in Arabic and Middle East Studies.
