About the artist

Born and raised in Ulverstone, Louise Daniels is a Palawa Trawlwoolway woman who grew up in a large, creative family where someone was always making something. She has a lifelong interest in the visual arts, and has enjoyed the opportunity to focus on art studies and practice over the past eighteen years. Daniels is a multi-media artist whose practice includes landscape paintings, charcoal and mixed media drawings, and figurative wire sculpture.

Over the past decade Daniels has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and been a selected finalist in many state and national art awards. Her works are held in private and government collections in both Australia and overseas, including the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Central Coast Council Tasmania, and the Tasmanian Department of Health.

Daniels holds a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts (Honours) Degree and a Master’s Degree in Education Studies from the University of Tasmania. She is also a published researcher, and many of her recent studies and artworks explore and re-present stories of her Palawa ancestors who endured the brutal colonisation of Lutruwita. Her landscape paintings celebrate the character and beauty of her beloved Tasmania, especially the countryside around the north-west.
