Louise Boulter is a painter and illustrator based in Frome. In this first solo show she draws on theatre, animation and vintage photography to bring a cast of characters inspired by her family to life through traditional pantomime archetypes.

In Dorset where Isabelle grew up, ‘flint’ is commonly found in the fields, surfacing and resettling with the cycles of the land. This new body of work explores the stone as both substance and structure, drawing parallels between flint’s cellular formations and contemporary systems of circulation, conduits, pathways, and channels that similarly guide movement.
