Raised in the English countryside, and with young adult life spent in London before moving to the United States and settling in Los Angeles for over a decade, Claire has spent the last 17 years working in fashion as a creative director, recently returning to the UK in 2023. Claire creates abstract works that integrate an intuitive approach, primarily working with acrylics and experimenting with three-dimensional textures. She allows for a non-linear narrative, inspired by the impact of time on man-made structures originally designed for functionality rather than allure. Claire finds beauty in their imperfections, offering a textured glimpse into their history.
