LouCharchar
Kia ora my name is LouCharChar, born and raised in Ōtautahi, I am a local abstract artist based in Ōhinehou / Lyttelton. A few years ago I accidentally discovered my love for splashing ideas and paint across canvases. Creativity runs deep within my veins coming from a creative whānau.
My creative work is often bright and colourful, depicting movement with etheral, magical, and deeply spiritual elements. My love for nature often shows up in my work.
Much of my artwork is born from deep seated pain and trauma, and my many rivers of tears have fallen onto my canvases and into my work, creating a beautiful ensemble of healing and personal and spiritual growth. I am always amazed at what I learn each time I paint. I love getting my hands and fingers covered in paint as part of my process because it connects my inner energy into the canvas where the energies intertwine.
I am very grateful to have found a creative outlet that brings me so much joy.
