Claire’s work has strong links with the ideas of Clement Greenberg,

the philosophy of abstract expressionism being fundamental to her

ideology.

 

An unusual approach among young British artists today.

 

The luminous colours and mysterious rectangles create an aura of

presence, deliberately still and quiet, a meditative play with space,

tone, intensity and subtle hues.

 

The paint is painstakingly applied to the canvas, taking many weeks

to produce as multiple layers of colour move towards a finished form.

 

‘What one actually sees is full of spontaneity and developing

movement that is almost musical and which also conveys a sense of

the spaciousness of landscape.

 

Her latest work in particular seems to float free of the canvas.

 

This is Art on which the eye dwells on long and lingeringly but which

also gives food for thought.’

 

Dr Nick McAdoo (associate researcher Aesthetics,Open university)

 

 

Claire’s work has been recognised by many prestigious galleries,

Critics and collectors worldwide, with exhibitions in the

west end of London and America being highlights of this last year.
