Claire Cansick

Norfolk artist Claire Cansick is directly inspired by nature and colour.

Her paintings explore nature on her doorstep as well as documenting poignant memories, the changing climate and natural events. Her work plays with recessive colour and compositional elements to create a sense of place, mood, interaction and experience, tracing her path through the landscape. Claire's work starts with her own photos or sketches, working quickly initially before discarding the source material and letting the paint take over. Her work does not over concern itself with groups or series of paintings but one offs, with only her tight colour palette bridging between them. Currently she is embarking on several paintings of the sea swimmer's vista.

Claire is a member of The Arborealists, an artist group who's exploration of tree unites them.

Recent exhibitions include the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022, Pie Factory Margate 23 with solo exhibitions at Chappel Galleries Essex 202 & 2023, Gallery East Suffolk 2023, Firstsite in Essex October 2023- April 2024 and Old School Gallery Northumberland February - March 2024.
