Artist Bio:

My art journey began in the 1970s and 80s when I could often be found with my Grandpa’s old Kodak Brownie camera, or my sketchbook and pencils in hand. I studied art for my O Levels but as life got busier my art took a back seat.  I've always taken photos, getting my first DSLR about 15 years ago, and I discovered that getting behind the lens kept me sane during the Covid lockdowns.  At the same time I also rekindled my love of art.  My brand, Lomi Lou Photo Art, was born from my love of photography and art, our beautiful landscapes and furry friends.
