CLARE 
PAINTER, TRAVELER, CONTEMPLATIVE

I’m a native Californian who has been creating art since childhood. I’ve worn many hats during my lifetime from physics lab assistant to non-profit fundraiser but art has always been the one constant thread.

Three things I love...
  • Wherever I am in the world I enjoy walking and discovering quirky places. 
  • Reading and writing poetry generates visual ideas for my paintings. Sitting quietly with a good cup of coffee and a book of poetry is a little slice of heaven. 
  • ​My neighbor’s cats come by daily for belly rubs and treats. Shhh…don’t let my neighbor know about the treats!

​When I’m not in my studio, I’m in my garden, walking in the neighborhood or sipping coffee at my local café.
