Artist Statement

Claire Instagram. @friedclaire is a Painter/Curator, working in Suffolk currently exploring Figurative Art.

Claire paints in oils on canvas or board. The sizes vary from 30cm to 50cm. Larger paintings are 100 -200 cm. Recently I have loved working with Clare Harward NEAC online working with colour and light in still life oil painting.

By observing intently, I learn about life and the human condition.I visit galleries to enjoy other artists work their techniques and occasionally I make studies.

l share these discoveries with people that are interested, the story of the painting and how it came about. Life drawing at Asylum Studios enables me to develop a language of mark -making for expressing ideas.
