Like many other artists, I often use several source images to produce what appears to be a real place when in fact the process is more akin to a collage than anything else.

To date, most of these works are part of what I have called 'The Corona Collection' because I completed a new piece every day until the end of the first lockdown in France, in May 2020.
Working mainly with charcoal and pierre noire to begin with, I then started using soft pastels for the first time and enjoyed discovering how challenging and rewarding this medium can be.

Oscar Wilde once said "Life is too important to be taken seriously" and collage is certainly a technique that promotes this very idea. It lends itself so easily to Surrealism that it is a joy to create and also to contemplate because, despite the economy of means, it can purvey a multiplicity of concepts or evoke a spectrum of different emotional responses.

Biography
Louisa Linton is a visual artist from Scotland. Just like Van Gogh, she was amazed and seduced by the light in the south of France and so, in 1984, she decided to settle in Montpellier where she has lived and worked ever since.
Ms Linton holds an B.A. Degree in French from the University of Edinburgh as well as diplomas in Fine Arts and Art Therapy from the University of Montpellier.
After years as an Art Therapist in a centre for children and adolescents with severe learning difficulties, Ms Linton now devotes her time to her own self-expression. She uses her creativity in lots of different ways, including writing, clothes design, gardening and music, but the forms of expression she has been using since she was a child are her favourites: drawing and painting.

I've had a long poem sitting in this space for a while as I hum and ha about what to do next. Today I made a decision and will be putting my own site up on the big,WWW at the end of November, in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it :)
Reviews and comments
J'adore vos œuvres surtout celles de Victor Hugo. Vraiment bravo!
Je n'ai que 2 ans de retard mais un grand merci pour ce retour. Le décès de ma maman et peu de temps après, celui de mon papa m'ont flanqué un grand coup à l'âme et j'ai consacré le plus clair de mon temps à la musique. Jusqu'au début de cette année. Oui, j'ai ressorti les pinceaux et travaille actuellement sur une nouvelle série :)
Merci encore
Louisa
