Ballerina

Lou’s creativity expressed itself early at school, but because Lou didn’t consider herself academic she was embarrassed by her early attempts at art.

After school Lou returned to art and did several art courses in both Melbourne and Tasmania, majoring in leatherwork and spinning and weaving. For a time Lou worked for the Island Work Education Program teaching leatherwork to young students at risk, but after leaving this job she worked in various factories for several years and was married for a brief period.
