Who is louise hibbert

I studied 3D design in wood, metal, ceramics and plastics at Brighton University in England before going on to become a full-time professional maker. I moved to North Wales, which is a beautiful area, and then moved to Virginia, USA for 7 years after a 2 month residency in Philadelphia. I have now returned to Wales where I continue to create nature inspired pieces that I exhibit in Galleries and shows around the world and sell on Etsy.

I have a small shed that I built in my garden where I work, which has a wonderful view down to the village promenade, the Menai Straights and Puffin Island. I still use a Wadkin Bursgreen lathe that I love, a faithful companion that I bought second-hand when I started and who travelled with me to the States and back! I love trying new things and constantly push myself in terms of designs and techniques.

I am constantly seeking new inspiration for my work in books, museums, on the internet and in the wild. Louise Hibbert I am a designer-maker. My art and inspiration: My ideas derive from an exploration of form, texture, colour and symmetry. Inspiration has always been dominated by a fascination with the natural world, particularly marine life, and I use wood to reproduce and emphasise certain decorative aspects that these creatures possess and combine them into single pieces.

After careful planning on paper, each piece originates on the lathe and then carving, airbrushed inks, and applied resins are used to create the required effects. Explore Plankton Art.
