"There’s a rebellion in making beauty when the world tells you to forget."
- Louise Sommer
Welcome to a space where creativity becomes a way of life. Here, art, storytelling, and soulful living come together for those who dare to create a life that reflects their deepest selves.
This is a home for the dreamers, the believers, the ones who choose authenticity over approval — women, creatives, and kindred spirits from all paths and journeys. Wherever you are on your creative journey, you belong here. Together, we honor beauty, individuality, and the courage it takes to live a life true to your heart.
I’m Louise Sommer. I am a collage artist, graphic designer, web designer, bestselling author, and international blogger. My creative world is where art becomes memory, and memory becomes new stories. I am Australian-Scandinavian, and my life has been shaped by many soulful travels, living in several countries, unexpected encounters, and a quiet longing to understand the deeper rhythms that connect us across time, place, and story.
I hold an MA in Educational Psychology and am a certified coach; but my truest education has come from cobblestone streets, hidden bookshops, and the tender stories of strangers who felt like old friends. I’ve led over 100 workshops on creativity, storytelling, and education, helping others rediscover their creative voice and remember that culture is not a costume, it’s a heartbeat passed down through the bones of generations.
My book, The Hidden Camino (2014) became a bestseller and was presented at the prestigious Byron Bay Writers Festival. The Hidden Camino book is a journey of story, soul, and reclamation. It is a personal pilgrimage and a cultural excavation; a weaving together of my own footsteps with those of forgotten women whose legacies still linger along the ancient Camino de Santiago. Part memoir, part historical inquiry, the book reclaims the Camino’s origins as a sacred Celtic path of initiation and spiritual transformation.
Through the lens of women's stories, The Hidden Camino challenges what we think we know about history, and invites us to walk alongside Mary Magdalene and the many powerful women who shaped, ruled, and walked this land long before the dominant narratives erased them. In everything I create, I stitch together the memory of a thousand lives.
My blog and body of work explore creative living, soulful travel, vintage aesthetics, storytelling, and emotional presence. I write and create to offer sanctuary—gentle spaces to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what matters.
"I write so others can find themselves in the spaces between my words. In my art (collage, graphic design, book, blogging), I create a space of connection, a deep sigh of breath and release to just BE."
My collage art has been described as “honey for the soul,” a quiet place to stop and feel. In each piece, I seek to capture the poetic, the peculiar, my connection to nature and history, and the vintage women reimagined, the forgotten relics that suddenly bloom anew.
"Somewhere in the act of creating, the old world and the new world meet and remember they are one."
"You are not alone—your breath is part of a long, unbroken rhythm."
Whether you're here to explore, reflect, or begin your own creative journey, you are warmly welcome.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
