LOUISE DIGGLE
I’m a Chelsea based plein air painter. I work outside in all weathers.
My work is all about light - the way it hits and transforms places, streets and corners. The beauty is in the moment; the knowledge that the light will change makes it even more special.
I work mainly in pastel as it can be worked rapidly and has a marvellous glow. I love the fragile quality of it too. I’ve recently got back into oils; I enjoy squeezing the paint out of the tube.
There are two free light shows a day, sunrise and sunset and four different seasons - never ending subject matter. Art is a form of communication and I hope that my work conveys my wonder of the world.
I’m a member of the Pastel Society, Chelsea Art Society, Wapping Group of Artists and the Small Paintings Group and my studio is at Wimbledon Art Studios.
I have exhibited at the Jerram Gallery, Moorwood Art, Found Gallery, Russell Gallery, Panter & Hall and Piers Feetham Gallery amongst others.
Awards received at the Pastel Society 2024 & 2019, Chelsea Art Society and the RBA. I was joint winner of the Sloane Stanley show at CAS last year
This is an exhibition very close to my heart as three worlds come together in this exhibition: health, painting and place.
Painting is my profession and also my passion. I’m lucky enough to be able to combine the two - but even luckier to be alive thanks to the incredible expertise, skill and kindness of the team at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
My painting has also helped with my treatment. Scrutinising colour and light is endlessly absorbing for me.
