Louise McNaught: Fluorescent Mixed Media Animals
I instantly fell in love with the London-based artist Louise McNaught's work the moment I first saw it on 'This is Colossal' (website I recommend to visit and follow). She creates these mixed-media paintings of animals, owls and insects using neon paints showing the presence of nature and energy on backdrops that vary from traditional canvas to antique celestial star charts.
