Colourful fun paintings
My name is Louise and I sell colourful, fun, art paintings, prints, and homeware.
I used to work as a Podiatrist in the NHS, but that all changed when I decided I wanted to start an art business. I am an all or nothing person and decided to leave the NHS, take a break from Podiatry and throw myself into art life.
Having spent years wishing I could make a living from art and like most creative people being told it isn’t possible, I thought, well I’ll never know if I don’t give it a go.
Where It Began
I started the business in January 2018, with an Etsy shop and a facebook page. My first outing as an artist was at the local Botanical gardens and I remember thinking, “Ooh, I hope I have done the right thing!”. Looking back now it was so nerve wracking and only had a few painted locations for my display. Now I have a wide range of prints available, mainly of south and west wales but I am slowly painting my way around.
Projects, workshops and commissions
Over the years I have done lots of events, worked on some really interesting projects, carried out workshops with schools and sold my prints to customers as far away as Canada.
One of my most recent projects was painting a giant fibreglass Snoopy sculpture for the Dogs Trust, as part of the Wild in Art “A dogs Trail”. There were almost 40 giant Snoopy sculptures painted by artists from around the UK in all different styles, as well as a whole host of mini Snoopy’s designed by local schools. The trail was to raise money for the Dogs Trust in Cardiff. You can take a look at the snoopy here.

A Bit More About Me
Outside of my art business, you will find me at my other business, Thrive Podiatry.
Some people may already know that I was a Podiatrist in the NHS before I started my art business. In January 2026 I decided to return to Podiatry a few days a week, so I opened my own clinic.
My podiatry clinic is based at Parc Dewi Sant, Carmarthen, SA31 3HB.
I treat a wide range of foot problems, from corns and hard skin, to verruca or ingrowing toe nails. Feel free to take a look at my website.
