about me

Hey hello

I’m Claire, a painter, illustrator and pattern designer living in Hertford, UK. I am fascinated by faces and love drawing people (freckles), plants and flowers in a playful context, reflecting current trends and then mixing those with retro influences and textures. I am drawn to colour in all its forms, and love layering and blending to create harmonious, quirky combinations. I enjoy creating in different mediums; watercolour + gouache being my go-to, but also playing with pencil, collage, printmaking, mark-making and Photoshop. I also have a First Class Degree in Illustration.

I live with my two gorgeous boys, other half, cocker spaniel ‘Star’ and two seriously cute guinea pigs ‘Teddy and Waffle’. I love reading and weaving and eating runny cheese (sorry not sorry).

I would love to hear from you, to work on a co-lab or just to chat, please just message – hugs XXX
