Welcome

This is a space shaped by art, memory, and quiet resilience.

Clare’s art is courageous, demanding, and deeply human. For more than two decades she has created large‑scale oil paintings that confront silence and give voice to what cannot be spoken. Her studio has become a sanctuary — a place where art is not only expression, but recovery, connection, and survival.

Her paintings and drawings are not merely reflective; they actively engage with memory, honouring fragmented histories and offering resolution through creative practice. Clare’s developing series of self‑portraits — raw, eloquent, and haunting — opens a rare window into the lived experience of trauma and resilience.

Through her work, Clare advocates for the power of creativity in healing, collaborating with established charities and leading academics to argue for better recognition and treatment of childhood trauma. This site invites you to witness her journey: art as necessity, art as voice, art as change.
