Lou Horner

Lou Horner was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1954. She holds a B.A. from George Peabody College in Nashville. Her work has been shown at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C., the Charles A. Wustum Museum in Racine, Wisconsin, and at galleries in Tennessee. In the late 1980s Horner became intrigued with the shape of saws; since then she has produced paintings on wood cut into saw shapes. Her figurative imagery represents a personal kaleidoscope of the memories, desires, hopes, and fears that result from everyday experience.
