Claire is based in Malvern, and took up painting 5 years ago, after seeing an art course advertised locally, having done nothing artistic since her school days.  She quickly fell in love with it, and enjoys working in a variety of media, including watercolour, charcoal, pastel, ink and pencil.  Claire now particularly enjoys creating landscape images, using acrylics and mixed media, being inspired both by the local landscape and images from across the world.
