Louise Dautheribes McKerl

I am a half French half Scottish visual artist and writer. 

I was born and raised in France, then moved to Scotland when I realised my cynical opinions, bad humour and vulgarity were not were received by the Parisians. So I now live in Glasgow. 

​

My bad relationship with academia, my empty purse and badly shaped head stopped me from doing any superior studies. Instead it allowed me to sculpt my own style and refine my self-taught dyslexic skills.

I have written and directed several award-winning short films, and exhibited my photographs in Paris, Edinburgh and Glasgow. 

​

I have traveled and survived numerous parts of the world.

Firstly, I started with a one month cycling trip from Edinburgh in Scotland, to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, going through Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and finally Spain.         

Then a six months travel across the American continent, from Tierra Del Fuego through Chile, Peru, the United States and, to end with a bang, Jamaica. 

Another four month adventure across the Silk Road, from China to Paris via land, through Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Italy, Sicily, Corsica & France. 

​

In between sips of wine and bits of cheese, I write short stories, have scribbled for a +45 online dating site during which I have learned a lot and never been the same since. I enjoy collaborating with other artists on projects, it is a great way to meet new people and get different perspectives. 

​

I enjoy a bowl of cereals at one o'clock in the morning or the warmth of a shower when everybody is asleep.
