Clare is a British artist from London, UK. 

​

She draws on the British coastline for most of her inspiration, spending a lot of time on the south coast - land and sea. Here she finds contentment, like many, in witnessing the invisible force of nature, its power and ubiquity but also its fragility. 

​

Rarely does she seek to copy a specific place visually, rather, to embrace an atmosphere evoked by the weather-state, time of day, season, level of light and so on. Guided by intuition, her process is one of exploration and experimentation, heavily working layers of acrylic with a palette knife until a loose form appears. From there, the finer details emerge and the work gains depth and an aesthetic quality.

​

Clare's newest body of work is a distillation of core elements of the seascapes that have long defined her style, seeking to capture the rhythm, energy and atmosphere of the sea through abstraction. 

​

She regularly exhibits her work both in London and the south of England and is proud to be represented by George Gallery in Brighton.

​

Clare is a self-taught painter, having originally trained as a cellist.
