About ME & MY ART

Creating and painting have been my passions since early childhood and I have been lucky to be able to pursue these activities throughout my life, with some breaks in-between for other ventures. I initially studied Art at Boston University School of Fine Arts but left after a year as due to a move to the U.K, hence I am mainly self taught with the help of some inspiring artist friends and various classes over the years.

Living by the coast in Margate, Kent, there is constant wonder and inspiration by the ever changing light and movement of the skies and water. The shifting sands and distant boats on the horizon are forever captivating as they never look the same from one hour to the next. Painting the sea and sky as I see it has led to paintings evolving into more abstract impressions of the scenes, capturing the feel rather than instantly recognisable views.

As well as places, I am just as passionate about painting people. Faces are fascinating and therefore portraiture is something I can really get lost in, as I explore the face and try to find the essence of the person behind it. During the Covid 19 crisis I was lucky enough to be asked to paint fourteen free portraits for NHS Heroes. The subjects approached me and I was so pleased to contribute something positive at a difficult time.

My work has been shown at The Pie Factory, Westgate Galleria, Lovely’s of Cliftonville and featured in the local press and on a BBC news, Southeast Today. I’ve had paintings featured in three issues of Artist Talk magazine , had two paintings shortlisted for a competition by the Visual Artists Association and a painting on display at the Turner Contemporary Open 2021.

Please feel free to contact me to chat about commissions or to purchase any paintings on this website, or find out what else is available because I cannot list everything here! Please contact me by email or send me a DM on Instagram @louisehynesart.

The pictures available are originals and many are framed, but I am also able to offer good quality prints at competitive prices.

Thank you for looking and I hope you’ve been inspired!
