Clare  is a mixed media artist  and in December 2000 she launched her business “Clare’s Creations”, whilst still working full time in the NHS, but now devotes all her time to her art. She has exhibited at RHS Harlow Carr, RHS Malvern and Tatton Shows and Harrogate Flower Show.

Her painting career started with silk painting, but has tried watercolour, inks, mixed media and more recently she has found her own style with acrylics using palette knives, being inspired by meadows. As a keen gardener she is influenced by nature, the country, and her garden in which she has her studio.

She is Secretary for Artists Around Wetherby – Open Studios which runs annually  over two weekends.  Local artists in a 6 mile radius of Wetherby open their homes/studios. https://www.artistsaroundwetherby.com/

Clare was successful in agreeing a licensing agreement for eight Christmas cards with a publisher in 2006. She was commissioned to produce three pieces of original work for a local restaurant in Wetherby several years ago and has since done several commissions. She was artist in residence at https://mossandmoor.co.uk/ in 2022. With the help of her husband  she sells most of her original work framed.  She is also an active member of Walton Group of Artists and occasionally holds workshops and demonstrations.
