Louise liked her art to tell stories through drawing and painting. However, her sculptures are famous including those she called

cells.

These were large sculptures filled with objects she had collected over the years.

As a young girl, she enjoyed being in her parents’ busy

tapestry studio

helping with dyeing cloth, weaving and sewing.
She loved spiders and

made hundreds of drawings and sculptures of them throughout her career.

She described the spider as an artist as it could spin thread and make intricate webs.
