Clare Flint’s work is an unfolding story of healing. For more than thirty years she painted vast figurative canvases, drawing on the drama and narrative force of Renaissance art. Her largest piece —a thirty‑foot triptych titled The Inner Scream — expressing what could not be spoken.

Clare’s life has been shaped by trauma that began long before she had language for it. Those early experiences left deep traces that continued into adulthood — in sensation, emotion, and the ongoing work of surviving what the body remembers even when the mind cannot. Creativity became a way of staying connected to herself, a lifeline when almost everything else fell away.

Illness forced a long break from painting, reshaping both her life and her practice. When returning to making art, it was through pencil: small, quiet drawings instead of vast canvases. They may be delicate, but they hold a deep presence and strength — memory, energy, and the work of rebuilding from the inside out.

These drawings have become the foundation of a new body of work and a book Clare is creating, HIDDEN. - Coming soon! 

The drawings emerge alongside her long‑term therapeutic journey, developing alongside the process of finding lost inner parts, drawing them, and giving validation and form to what was once buried. The work traces healing, discovery, and the emergence of hidden memories — a journey made visible one drawing at a time.
