Louise Weir

As a figurative sculptor, I strive to imbue a sense of sacred or psychological presence in all my sculptures. To this end, I pay attention to anatomy, form, surface texture, and colour. The study of dance, vocal performance, art therapy, portrait sculpting, and forensic reconstruction all influence my work. I constantly push myself to expand my ability to express myself through artwork. I hope to connect, inspire and engage with others regarding the depth of human experience.
