About | Louisa Schmolke

LOUISA SCHMOLKE (Scottish, b. 1994)

Scottish Artist, Part 2 Architect, Designer + Illustrator based in London.

Louisa works as an Artist at Foster + Partners and resides in London. She is running her business in the evenings and weekends. In 2021 she collaborated with Top Gear, BBC, Cupra, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, Free People and many more and her work was live auctioned alongside Banksy, Kengo Kuma and Norman Foster.

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.

Always looking to collaborate, please do not hesitate to get in touch if Louisa's style could work with your brand.
