Welcome to the Portfolio of Lou Carberry Art

2024 & 2025

2024 marked the beginning of my youth work role & my art practice became a teaching tool on a more regular basis. I now work regularly in collaboration with artists in Creative Stirling on community based projects such as Lavender Lives and Jasmine Journeys. This has not only allowed me to develop new skills but it has widened my appreciation for my creative spirit. Taking on digital drawing & animation work, alongside painting classes & developing a new confidence in comic style work.

The HES New Renaissance project (part 2) also culminated this year at the Stirling 900 event. A project where I was lead artist coordinating 4 separate projects & 8 artists to work in local community groups. A huge undertaking but something to leave a positive mark on the city for future generations. (for more information continue through this portfolio)

Exhibitions and Opportunities

Over the course of my studies I have taken part in a variety of opportunities and exhibitions. Doing an exhibition in each year of study allowed me to create an Artists CV that I could submit to gain further opportunities.
