Louise Belcourt
Louise Belcourt gets in touch with her own feelings by looking beyond herself, often into nature. Inspired by the outdoors, she splits her time between a barn in Québec and her studio in Brooklyn with a view of the Williamsburg Bridge spanning the East River. The tension between city living and the freedom of rural life is evident in her work. Her grandfather, a businessman who spent summers painting in the country, inspired her to create at a young age.
Wrapped up.
“In paintings, I mingle architectural and natural forms- things that are in my daily periphery.”
