PROFILE: "To me a photographic image documents a moment in time, never to be witnessed again yet, tickles the memory with powerful emotions. I try and tell a story with symbolism and encourage the viewer to come up with their own interpretation or understanding. Learning the history and techniques of the photographic process through self-study and experimentation, has aided in my growth and emerging creativity. I find something magical and sacred about preserving the art of working with film and creating an image in the darkroom by hand. "

Louise is a self-taught photographer working in the field for more than 25 years. She has participated in several group gallery exhibitions in New York and Florida.
