Hello and welcome.
I am a professional artist based in Australia. I create abstract expressionist style artworks in acrylic and I have been working as a full time artist since 2013.
My artwork is inspired by nature and i like to focus on bringing the outside in. My paintings are highly decorative, however I feel they also serve as a reflection of the beauty and complexity that nature provides. I like to capture the essence of a landscape, stylizing it and making it my own. I employ colour, pattern and repetition to portray the layers of foliage and vegetation that can be seen within the landscape.

So refreshing for us Aussies to see AU brands that are easy to find. Thank you for advice!!
I love your work!
I have just recently discovered your channel and I love your work! I can't wait to watch all your videos--they are so inspiring !
Such a beautiful video, very inspiring 😍
Gosh I REALLY like the second sketchbook paintings especially the ones at 6:40, 7:52, 8:01. I’m a beginner artist and I wish I could paint like that! Gorgeous color pallets and strokes!!!! Can you do a tutorial on one of those 3 paintings pls?
Really interesting transformations. I’m amazed at how you worked out what it was you weren’t happy with in those plein aire artworks! I went out monthly with urban sketchers for a year before I realized I just didn’t enjoy it! You gotta try everything though!
Love love love the fabrics!! I’m a quilter but I’m interested in abstract painting as well. I love bright colors in my quilts so I will hunt these down for sure! I love your artwork! ❤
Bonjour Clair, oui effectivement, si je vois une toile de vous, peinte en studio, je reconnaitrai votre patte, par contre, celles peintes en extérieur, je les identifie moins facilement.. . Cependant, je les trouve tout aussi appreciables, le ressenti est aussi agréable, juste différent , moins frais, moins joyeux, mais pas indigne d'intérêt... Et pourtant, ma sensibilité va vers les tonalités des toiles peintes en intérieur... Merci pour ce partage 😘🤗
Hi Clair, just letting you know that the video froze from 14:09 to 14:43. and then again at 37:35 to 38:02. Also, the same thing happened a couple of times in your last video. Maybe the camera? Anyhow, more important to say, I love your videos and your paintings, and absolutely appreciate you sharing your process and thinking about your art. Thank you +++
I love the natural colours you have used. It is winter time, isn’t it? Why not trying something different.

Lol those are my colors , Clair☺️
Thanks Clair. I am sure you are more qualified than myself but what I do have to say about your plein air colours are that I think they are fine - perhaps though just one stronger/darker value in a compositional hierarchy will resolve your doubts. I love your honesty and generousity and your mark making. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time with us.
Your kitty is gorgeous 😍
Binge watching ❤😊 would you recommend any particular medium to start with. I went crazy I have a bit of everything I got so excited about it. I don't have expensive products but middle of the road. 👍💝💖
Just found your channel 👍 I love your work. I am just starting out at 68 so I need all the help I can get. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work 👍 ❤️ blessings from Ontario 🇨🇦
Another absolutely inspiring and informative video visit! Thank you so much for all that you share. It is a joy to watch you paint and talk about your process!!!!❤
I LOVE your colors.
You are sooo good Claire. I wish i was where your at with your art. I wasted so many yrs not doing it.
I have grown to prefer used items. The positive energy from previous owners is always a bonus. I’m not even new age believer. But my intuition seems to tap into others. I love your used book.
As always I love your video and especially love you art!
Hi Clair, Great video as usual. Personally, I find your river rock series some of the best pieces I have seen you do. Fabulous energy and movement, as well as exciting brushwork. I favor the green water with the pops of colorful boulders peeking through. I loved your plein air painting of the river as well. Although you don't favor the subdued colors, the way you handle paint and mark making pulls it all together for a very lively painting. Please experiment periodically with grayed colors. You inspire me!
Love your babbling brooks! And, I have the same Sorella (sp) book. I picked my copy up at a local used book store. It's so yummy to flip thru.
I think both are equally beautiful (in reference to the two tree paintings). Even tho you think the one on the right is dull, it IS very accurate to our Australian bush colours. Really beautiful.😊
I agree
Awesome stuff..love it
You could tell us the colours and mixes you using… when you run out of conversation 😊
I really love being invited into your studio to see how you work. It's a real privilege and your whole creative process is so inspiring. Insight into how a true artist works -awesome! Thanks so much. Greetings from Italy
Gorgeous!!❤
Really love this video, you really conveyed your process so well. Thank you 😊 it’s a beautiful painting
Great video - love the work! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve only just come passed this and I’m so glad it came up on my feed ❤ so inspiring I’ve always struggled to do abstract pieces even though I love them I just struggle to let go and get out of my head I can’t wait to try this technique 🫶
Love the colours and style. Thanks for sharing ❤
Clair we appreciate your content so much!
Your work is outstanding ❤❤❤❤ ty so much for sharing So inspiring!!
It is always a delight watching you paint, Clair.
Hi Clair! Loved the video! How do you keep the paper from buckling? What kind of paper do you use?
Love this series….thanks for sharing your process!
These are beautiful!
Hi Claire - I just found your channel and have been watching ever since. I paint water color but want to paint larger. Do you think acrylic ink could be painted Ike watercolor? Wet into wet?
Yes you can! You can treat acrylic ink in almost the same way as watercolour. Its just permanent once it is dry so you can't reset it and lift it like watercolour.
Great drawings and great tips. Thanks Clair.
I love these Clair. Definitely a successful series. Thanks for all the great information.
Woow I'm so happy to find your channel 🌻✌🏻 you're authentic, genuine and very passionate (also skilled)...I mean, this is very precious in this world 🌟☺️
Excellent, love your style.
Awesome video - I love so much the direction you are going in! I work similarly and it’s wonderful to see a more experienced artist go at it in this way. Thank you so much!
Fabulous video thanks!
Hi ya hun I’m Karlena from NZ I’m wanting to move into licensing do you have any information that could help possibly thanks ???
I love watching and listening to your process. Thanks for inviting us into your experience. A lot of artists online seem to be seeking looseness, but what that looks like in the end is very personal and covers a broad spectrum of outcomes. I wonder what would happen if you made yourself change to using one or two colors that you never use. Not a criticism, because I like your work.
I followed you since some years now and I can say that you look so excited and motivated in this video with these artworks, which I am loving so much! Thanks for sharing, it is also inspiration to others. Amazing. Clair, it doesnt bother me at all, but thought you would like to know that in all your last videos there like a minute of frozen screen. You probably noticed, but just in case. Thanks for continue sharing your knowhow and wonderful art :)
