LOUISA SCHMOLKE (Scottish, b. 1994)

​

 

Artist, Architectural Illustrator and Part II Architect born in Glasgow, Scotland. 

​

After graduating with a Masters in Architecture from the University of Dundee in 2018, Louisa pursued a career in architecture until 2020. Having always been interested in the artistic facets of graphics and presentation styles within her degree, she has moved toward a vibrant palette which is far more expressive of her personality and tastes. 

​

In March 2020 Louisa was ready to move to New York City to pursue a career in architecture, but due to the UK Lockdown she was no longer able to leave. Through her Instagram platform, Louisa was able to reach a wider audience and has since become an International Artist with worldwide clientele, creating bespoke commissions around the world. 

 

Having a background in architecture has meant her practice varies from architectural illustrations and urban sketches, to more recently, a series of colourful abstract acrylic paintings.

 

Louisa creates contemporary art commissions which are tailored to each customer and their home which results in a piece which is entirely unique to them.
