Claire Writes:
Concentrating on the natural world, wildlife is a dominant theme. To keep the subject alive, the necessity for speed has drawn me to watercolour as my preferred medium. The process is immediate and instinctive. Every brushstroke vivisble, I strive to allow the paint the freedom to speak for itself, thus creating a dialogue between myself and the ever evolving work.
