“Printmaking demands focus, planning, precision, intuition, research, record-keeping, as well as studying new technologies in order to generate the magical surprise of the print itself. The discipline has been a training ground for honing my personal journey and has brought me such liberating insights; I am able to approach the canvas with joy and abandon.”
Louise Bloom, born in 1947 in Montreal, began attending classes at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts at age 12, and entered the first undergraduate program in Fine Arts offered by Sir George Williams University when she was 16.
Bloom began a full-fledged professional art career in 1987, cultivating her love of printmaking at Atelier de l’Ile in Val David, QC. During 23 years of dedicated practice, she has developed skills that qualify her as a Master Printer. Bloom paints in oil, creates in mixed media, writes poetry and teaches yoga and meditation; she also coaches artists in life skills and supports their creative process.
