Louise Gaskill is a North Carolina–based artisan celebrated worldwide for her vibrant, eponymous lighting collection. Drawing on her deep understanding of form and illumination, she brings the same sensibility to her paintings, which are inspired by the play of light, reflection, and color. Her works emerge as layered assemblages, where flowers, landscapes, and everyday impressions translate naturally into abstract compositions.

Years of experimentation with diverse materials and mediums have shaped Gaskill’s intuitive process. Her ability to manipulate texture, shape, and color results in a signature style defined by dimension and refinement. Each painting reveals her mastery of layering, producing pieces that feel both dynamic and harmonious.

For Gaskill, painting is a reflection of beauty found in the rhythm of daily life. “My paintings are a reflection of different things that I find beautiful in my daily life. A grouping of flowers or shapes naturally appears to me in the abstract form,” she explains. With each piece, she offers viewers a glimpse into her artistic vision - an exploration of light, form, and the quiet elegance of abstraction.
