About

Louise Barrett is a figurative artist from Co Limerick where she currently resides and works. Inspired from a young age by rural surroundings, close connection to nature, animals and in particular the horse, they are frequently depicted in her work, sometimes as subjects themselves (particularly in her earlier works) and in more recent years portraying a verse, historical event or the dreamworld such as her recent series of Zechariah’s Horses. Self taught as an artist she works in acrylics, oils applied mainly with painting knives and tools.
