about me
Claire is an abstract artist, drawn to colour and textures.
Inspired by the abstract, and colour field artists of the 1950s and 1960s, she is drawn to coloiur’s emotive nature.
Drawing inspiration from nature, a love of retro, or an unexpected muse, Claire works with gestural marks, a variety of brushes, tools, and mediums. Her paintings blend applied and implied textures, building layer upon layer, creating a playful narrative.
“You can never paint the same brush stroke twice, and I love the serendipity, or happy accidents, that happen when you’re lost in painting.”
Claire is based in Hertford. She studied art at university, and has a BA Hons in Illustration.
