The inspiration for the aesthetic of the press came from the English tradition of writer and artist independent presses such as Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press, and William and Catherine Blake's publishing enterprise. Night Bird Press pamphlets are printed by 4-Print on high quality paper and beautifully produced. They are inspired by a tradition of British writers and artists that have left us a legacy of originality of vision and thought. Louisa uses art as a means of expressing moments in their personal and creative histories, retelling their narratives in alternative ways. As an artist, she has exhibited at venues such as: Chawton House, Hampshire; St Pancras Old Church, London; Keats-Shelley House, Rome; Keats House, Hampstead; Bargehouse at the Oxo Tower, London; Bankside Gallery, London; Bow Arts, London; Falmouth Art Gallery, Cornwall. 

Exhibition news: during the Fowey Literary Festival in May 2026, the artworks from 'House of Dreams: Daphne du Maurier's Menabilly' will be on display at The Old Bank Gallery in Fowey, Cornwall. Pamphlets will also be on sale in the shop.
