Artist Statement:
As a long time Great Dane
owner, I see in these dogs a
combination of playful
goofiness and regal elegance.
As a sculptor I see also a
magnificent combination of
long bones, muscled limbs,
folds of skin and dynamic
movement.
Although canine subjects are
the basis of most of my ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Louise Peterson is fortunate to be living her dream near the small town of Guffey, Colorado. She spends her time hiking with her Great Danes, sculpting in her studio and operating the business of her art which often involves traveling to interesting places.
Louise is a native of Darlington, England. She trained in classical ballet in London and performed with the Israel Ballet in Tel Aviv. Her dance experience helped shape her love of figurative sculpture. She moved to the United States in 1984 and began to study clay modeling ten years later at Santa Monica College. Louise learned to sculpt with the human figure but after moving to the rural mountains of Colorado in 1998 the only model in her small studio was her Great Dane. What results are fine classical renderings of dogs that are often both humorous and elegant.
Since 2001 Louise’s sculptures have received over ninety awards including four Best in Shows. Her sculptures are in the museum collections of Brookgreen Gardens, The Wildlife Experience, The Dunnegan Gallery of Fine Art, the AKC Museum of the Dog and the Woodson Art Museum. Her life size Great Danes are in the public collections of Benson Sculpture Garden and the cities of Colorado Springs and Northglenn in Colorado, the cities of Greenville, South Carolina and Sheridan, Wyoming. Louise is an elected member of the National Sculpture Society, the Society of Animal Artists, Allied Artists of America, the National Sculptors’ Guild, Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers and Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club.
