A year of original art prints and handwritten letters, mailed each month, following my life through four cities: London, New York, San Francisco, Atlanta. Twelve months, one story.

Inside each Envelope

Inside every LOU & YOU studio edition is a signed 5×7 fine art giclée print on archival paper, wrapped in a vellum sheet printed from one of my original paintings.You'll also find a memory card with a few words about that month's city, a note about the colour palette I used, and a personal letter from me.Add your birthday when you join and enjoy a little something extra that month.

Why Letters

Growing up in England in the late 60's and 70's letters were the main way we stayed in touch. I still remember the excitement I felt when an envelope arrived in the post.That feeling never really left me.LOU & YOU is my way of sharing that with you.

The Post

I never show the artwork or the process ahead of time. That way it's kept a surprise until it arrives.

This is Where the
Story Begins

Hello, I’m Louise — Lou to my friends, which is where LOU & YOU studio editions gets its name. Here's a little of my story...I studied fine art and knitwear design in London, then spent twenty years working in New York City's fashion industry. I've always been drawn to colour and texture, whether I was designing sweaters or mixing paint.After decades of creating for others, I’m painting again from my studio in Atlanta. I work in mixed media: oils, watercolour, pastels sometimes all of them layered together.And this time, I'm sharing my journey with you, one print, one letter, one month at a time.
