Louise McCall

Over the past years, I have had the great fortune of meeting and getting to know Louise McCall.  Whenever I am in the Phoenix area I try to get over to her beautiful home to visit with her.  She is always sparkling and so gracious surrounded by her beautiful painting.  I particularly love her kitchen, full of flowers, and Mexican ceramics. She is a dynamic and inspiring spirit, and our visits alway leave me elated.

My Garden, 2006, 36 x 48 inches, Acrylic on Canvas

Her work is so beautiful, full of color and light.  Check out her web site to see the vastness of her oeuvre. Her work can be found on file at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, in Washington D.C. and in many private collections across the United States, Saudi Arabia, and England.
Here are just a few examples of her vibrant work.

She lives with her husband, artist Robert McCall, in Paradise Valley, Arizona.Louise McCall uses Arizona’s light as a reservoir that only touches the possibilities to capture an immediate impression of what the eye sees, rather than what the viewer knows or feels. Louise paints masterfully, using color in an energizing manner, producing beautifully constructed paintings with extraordinarily deceptive ease culminating in an unforgettable impression.
