CORDELIA, Loïs

1982 - ?

Loïs Cordelia, Loïs Cordelia Bülow-Osborne, was born in Ipswich in 1982, daughter of John Douglas Osborne and his wife Erika A. R. née Bülow, who married in Ipswich in 1981. She is now based near Sanquhar in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, but is still often active on the arts scene in Suffolk. Educated at Northgate High School and Sixth Form in Ipswich, she graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2006 with a first-class MA degree in Arabic. The beauty of Arabic script remains a major influence. She works in a wide range of styles, mediums, and scales, including intricate miniatures, speed-paintings, murals and public art, monoprints, sculptures, shadow puppets, film, and animation. She often creates speed-art live in public and welcomes an audience. From 1999 to 2019, Loïs worked part-time as an assistant in the west London studio of children's author-illustrator Jan Pienkowski (1936-2022), best known for his Meg and Mog series (with co-author Helen Nicoll), pop-up books including 'Haunted House', and several volumes of fairytale silhouette illustrations. Her work has featured in films, journals, and public art trails across the UK. The sales of her public artwork have raised more than £160K for various charities since 2016. Her artwork can be seen at the Food Museum and Stowmarket Library. She presents her own behind-the-scenes Youtube channel. She welcomes commissions: 'Unusual requests a speciality'.
