About Claire

Claire feels very fortunate to have been painting and drawing for the best part of 25 years and she couldn’t imagine doing anything else. It has always been so much more than a job to her!

Claire's work is all handcrafted and she loves all things flora and fauna and would say her biggest inspiration for her art is the time she spends in her back garden and the stunning Yorkshire countryside that surrounds her studio. She feels spoilt for reference. On a bright sunny day or a frosty winter morning its often hard knuckling down to paint anything and not spend the time whiling away the hours walking her dog or just staring out of her window, all in the name of reference of course!

Claire has a vast library of sketches and photos of the marvellous things that nature has thrown her way over the years and her biggest challenge is to convey the beautiful inspirational ideas directly into her art.
