I have picked up drawing and painting for the last 3 years and during that time I came to realise how much I love creating. Having spent many years in education, teaching - I have recently sent myself back to school and am in the midst of completing a Foundation Art Diploma at the Art Academy London and am eventually planning on pursuing a BA in Fine Art. During my time at art school, I have enjoyed exploring and working with many different mediums from word, clay, moving image and painting, I have spent my time making installations and moving image works as well as painting and drawing. I particularly love the immediacy of working with charcoal and at this early stage in my journey - I expect I will continue to explore both landscape and figurative subjects which I find equally wonderful.

Claire is a scientist and runs a research lab focusing on skin regeneration. She enjoys pottery in her spare time and started in 2010 after taking an evening class in NYC, where she was working at the time.

"If I face an 'art block,' this approach helps me regain flow." Once dry, she refines the painting with coloured pencils, focusing on the eyes—"the windows to the soul."

Clare draws inspiration from fellow wildlife artists like Emily Lamb and abstract pioneers such as John Piper, Christopher Wool, and Joan Mitchell. She aims for her paint to connect and flow, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. “We are all connected,” she says, lamenting that humans often fail to see this. Clare’s art shines a light on the impact of humanity's consumerism on the environment and wildlife.

Her past in fast-moving consumer goods marketing exposed her to corporate inertia and its consequences on nature. "The need to make a profit comes at a price," she reflects, citing rainforest destruction for palm oil as an example. This deforestation harms the climate and de
