Introduced to print largely through her M.A at Brighton University, she likes to mix media and process.

The work often looks playful but can be infact disturbing and sinister, “ for me the work should be provoking – political even, the consideration of what it is to be alive – stuff – love – death we are all obsessed by these but this obsession is both funny and sad “
Lou has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. She is currently working on a project with the Print Market Workshop at the Ashmloeum Museum, Oxford and also putting some new work together for an exhibition in “ Nice “ Gallery in Cardiff, for December 2005.

The work has derived from the theme of 'shedding unwanted baggage,' recycling past work in terms of previous commissions. Pete has developed new work in which his old woodcuts, etchings, silk-screens and digitally enhanced work have been used.

This new work attempts to address the fact that those commissioned woodblocks have been cut, plates etched and silk-screens printed are now being used in these newly developed works. In doing this the final blocks themselves are being used so in this act their life ends. Placing them in a box sealed with glass reiterates this point. Only once this process has been entirely completed will the studio and his own mind be clear of any 'unwanted baggage'.

The more recent works, 'My Madonna's' and 'Tribute to Rapheal' are the beginnings of a new series. These have come about through the mix of Pete's own interest in early Italian renaissance painting and a celebration of his own family and recent arrival of his third child. Here he depicts his own family and wife, who take the place of the truly majestic 'Madonna and Child', not necessarily in replacement of these figures, but to him, of equal significance and importance in his own life.
