Louise Chen is an illustrator and artist based in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in galleries across the United States, including Giant Robot Galleries in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Her artwork is inspired by botanical and scientific drawings, vintage floral patterns, antiques, the universe, animals, and the people and artists that move around her. Her work plays with positive and personal reflections as well as universalities, sometimes conveying adult hardships through childish fantasies.
