Northern Lights features warm vibrant colours mixed with etched lines. This etching is explores the movement of colour inspired by the natural light display usually seen in high-latitude regions.

Etching is a printmaking technique that uses a chemical process to produce etched lines in a metal printing plate which will hold applied ink and form an image. Like engraving, etching is an intaglio technique. Intaglio refers to all printing and printmaking techniques that involve making marks or incisions into a plate or print surface which hold the ink when ink is applied to the surface and then wiped clean.

Louise uses vivid colour as an intuitive response to landscape. Her technique involves using deep velvety tones that contrast with delicate, spontaneous etched lines. Her prints and paintings are primarily concerned with the landscape. Some are based on childhood memories, reflecting on the countryside and coast where she spent her early childhood.
