Lou is an Australian based Artist using mixed media on canvas and linen. She started exploring colour at age 5 through the ‘The Sun’ (now ‘Herald Sun’) ‘Corinella’ colouring-in contest winning week after week. Lou was taught by her dad, a self-taught artist who was diagnosed with a brain tumour when she was 2 and died when she was 8. Lou continued to draw and paint and studied art well into her late 20s. In her thirties, she dusted off her dad’s old paintings from under the family home she grew up in and came to see that even though they had been painting years apart; their signatures used to sign paintings were exactly the same. They are a simple notation of ‘SHELDON’ surname in capital letters. In a nod to her dad's humour and to honour the time they spent ‘finding the hook’ in Geoff "Jeff" Hook's regular cartoons when she was a little girl, you will find (if you look hard enough) her dad's first initials “RA” (Robin Arthur) in each of her paintings. Today, Lou sells paintings all around Australia and the world to private homes and businesses. Her works have been sent to Canada, Sweden, United Kingdom, America, Egypt, Dubai, Singapore, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy & Switzerland. She has received commissions from KiisFM in Sydney, Green Art Gallery (Dubai) as well as various construction companies and Interior Designers around Australia. She has had pieces on The Block and '60 minutes' (Australia). Clarendon Fine Art (UK) write: "Lou Sheldon, an accomplished Australian artist, is celebrated for her intuitive approach to landscape painting. Eschewing rigid structure, her works are infused with movement and energy, blending oils, oil pastels, and occasionally gold leaf to create pieces that are both painterly and impactful. Her art bridges the gap between abstraction and impressionism, offering a unique perspective on the beauty of the natural world."
