Born: Zimbabwe
Based: Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay Louise Stobart and her husband Bruce own and run the popular Birdwoods Gallery on the edge of Havelock North.
Louise established Birdwoods Metal Sculpture in 1991 in Zimbabwe, and ran it alongside their extensive farming operation. Louise, Bruce and their family were forcibly evicted from their farm in July 2003. The metal sculpture enterprise survived however, and the Birdwoods craftsmen continue to produce Louise’s designs from a new base in Zimbabwe.
The Gallery sells metal and stone sculpture, ceramics, jewellery and decorative arts from artists throughout Africa and now many from New Zealand.
