Claire has been a practising artist and art teacher for 20 years, she followed a Foundation course in Cheltenham with a BA in Fine Art at Reading University. On graduating she moved to London to work in two creative industries, film and art consultancy, but she was soon drawn back to an easel by a love of painting. 

Alongside her own work she is greatly inspired by helping others fulfil their creative potential and has taught a wide variety of ages and abilities including at a pupil referral unit and G.C.S.E., A Level and Foundation students at the Fine Arts College in Hampstead.  She has a PGCE in Art and Design and runs adult workshops in drawing and painting.

Her very contemporary and experimental degree course combined with good knowledge of classical and traditional techniques allows her to apply a wide range of theories to her teaching.  Students are encouraged to look at the work of other artists and experiment with materials and styles.

Claire exhibits and is commissioned regularly and has recently completed a year long residency role at Godolphin School in Salisbury.
