Louise G. Collier B.A., B.Ed. - Artist and Educator
After teaching art for many years and raising a family, I now have more time to concentrate on my own artwork. I am based in Mount Pearl, NL. My work is in private collections nationally and internationally, as well as in the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's art collection. I am a member of the Art Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (www.aanl.ca) and VANL (www.vanl-carfac.com), the Association for the Arts in Mount Pearl (www.aamp.ca) .
Scratchboard was first introduced to me many years ago, when I was in high school. It has not always been easy to find the necessary boards and tools, but online stores are making it much easier. Scratchboard is the medium that I am currently focusing on. In fact, the International Society of Scratchboard Artists was formed in 2012 and I am an Active member. Our first show was in California in July 2012 and four of my scratchboards were included. The next show was in Vancouver in June 2013. Three of my pieces were shown there. You can visit the website to learn more about this exciting medium www.scratchboardsociety.com.
The scratchboard Winter Feeder was featured in East Coast Living Magazine - Winter 2012.
My work was featured and sold on www.artbombdaily.com 2013.
My scratchboards were chosen for the St. John's TIMERAISER events 2012 and 2014.
In 2013 I was awarded one of the NL Arts and Letters Awards for my piece Among the Trees. This piece is now in the textbook Views and Viewpoints - A Collection of Various Text Forms.
In 2014, I had three of my scratchboards juried into the 27th LSU International Animals in Art Exhibition. There were 383 entries and seventy-five were accepted. I was awarded the WARREN VIRGETS MEMORIAL AWARD for my piece In the Sun.
Prairie Treasure was featured at the silent auction of the Calgary Stampede - 2015.
My piece Room With A View was included in the 2016 Arts and Letters exhibit that was recently at The Rooms, St. John's, NL..
You can see my work during the summer season at BACCALIEU GALLERY, Heart's Content, NL.
My work can now be viewed year round at OCEAN VIEW ART GALLERY, Carbonear, NL.
I am available for commissions, especially pet portraits. The price varies by size, subject(s) and the amount of colour that you would like added. Please contact me if interested.
Feel free to leave a comment or inquire about any of the pieces. I am currently updating this site, please visit again soon to see some of the new work. Thank you for your interest.
