LOU MCKEEVER

Lou McKeever (Bluelou) is a fine art graduate skilled in painting, digital imaging, photography and performance art.

All these media have been used to explore subjects that have a political or humorous aspect. She has had cartoons nationally published in Flip-side, and the Times Educational Supplement, and has exhibited in several shows. Her first love has always been comics and cartooning and she has self-published the graphic novel ‘MOIS’ and. ’Bluelou’s dodgy dossier’. Her first one woman show ‘Wave and Particle’ - a fusion of fine art method and comic style - met with critical acclaim and was a commercial success.
