Claire will be working from a photograph to demonstrate some of the layering techniques she uses in her work. As well as painting, this will include collage, cutting, gluing tearing, scratching, spattering etc. She will bring some samples of her work for a ‘show and tell’ before we start.

Claire has had a varied career as a professional artist and illustrator. After studying graphic design at college in London, she worked as a designer for a textile company in the Midlands. After becoming freelance, Claire began designing in a variety of fields such as stationery, giftware and toy manufacture before becoming a children’s book illustrator and writer.

In 2010 she began her move into the field of fine art by producing a series of paintings inspired by her love of the landscape and coastal areas of Britain, as well as her favourite urban scenes.

Claire exhibits in galleries from the West Country to Scotland, as well as in her home county of Warwickshire, where she paints in her Stratford studio. Her work is currently licensed by several companies and can be found on home furnishings, gifts, wall art and paper products.
