Louise Chisholm

Louise Chisholm came from a quilt making background and noted that her return to art school at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design at age 51 “was a transformative experience” for her exploration of ”the boundary between craft and fine art.” Experimenting with discarded and found materials and the process of embroidery and printmaking, Chisholm’s work is often layered, pierced, printed and sewn to create “unexpected marriages” of thickness and texture. Louise says: “I often use discarded and found materials in my exploration of the boundary between craft and fine art. Through colour, layering and process, reaching toward the collective unconscious I strive for excellence with passion.”
