Louise Courtnell
Louise Courtnell is a British portraitist and landscape artist.

Born in Plymouth, Louise has lived for many years in her studio on the cliffs of Whitsand Bay on the Rame Peninsula, Cornwall's forgotten corner.

Louise was a casual student of Robert Lenkiewicz. Her work, past and present, encapsulates the very essence of the Rame Peninsula and her landscape paintings subtly and sensitively capture the tones, colours and shapes of the rapidly changing Cornish seas and skies.

Louise is an artist closely engaged with the community, an ongoing major project is the painting from life portraits recording residents of Kingsand and Cawsand born between the World Wars.

Exhibitions Louise has exhibited widely on many occasions at the National Portrait Gallery BP Portrait Award and “The Discerning Eye” at The Mall Galleries, London. Her work can also be seen at the Westcroft Gallery in Kingsand http://www.westcroftgallery.co.uk/louise.html</ref
