About Me - Louisa Clarke

My Background

Picture of Can Studio - outsideBritish born, I grew up in Worcestershire where my parents live. My dad always said "she was always cutting and snipping and painting from an early age - that was when Louisa is in her element".

I went on to attend Staffordshire University where I did a degree in BA Hons Surface Pattern Design. I loved mark-making and textures on fabrics, ceramics, canvases, organza bags. I would often collage a lot of my work and do trend / mood boards.
