Louise Bane

Louise Bane a Miller South alum Louise Bane started her artistic journey with a love for sculpture. After school, Louise took a detour to help run her family business- a local auto business that happens to be the only all-female, black-owned business of its kind in the county. In the last several years Louise has used her sculptural skill and passion for baking to operate a thriving custom cake business called WeezieCakes. Returning to her first love of fine art, Louise is now more active in the local arts scene. She is a member of the Akron Black Artist Guild, a participant in Kenmore Neighborhood Alliance’s First Friday event, and co-director of the East Avenue Market & Gallery. Her recent body of work utilizes a sculpted bas-relief technique to convey emotions and explore memory. She looks forward to developing her artwork further and staying connected to the community.
