“We have entered an era where supporting each other is more important than it has ever been, and where contributing to the community we live in has become inherent to who we are. I consider myself a storyteller and a creative activist. Through the NewYorkHer project I created in 2019, I saw how my art had a positive impact on people, and on young women in particular, bringing them self-confidence. My abstract and semi-abstract work, filled with light, conveys a universal message of freedom, love, multiculturalism and most of all, peace. Both the female and earth presence in my art are here to represent the source of life and humanity, and the colors I use show that life is not that dark afterall.”

Louisa L. is a French contemporary visual artist living in New York City. She is a member of​ The Art Students League​ of New York and of the National Association of Women Artists. After living in London and Reunion Island, Louisa L. painted at ​La Grande Chaumière​ and Les Ateliers de Paris before moving to New York City in 2014.

“ I feel fortunate that my collectors keep telling me the paintings they acquired make them happy and heal their mind. This quote from P.T. Barnum resonates with me deeply: ‘The noblest art is that of making others happy’.”
