Clare Maynard: paintings

Biography

BA Hons (Painting), Manchester Metropolitan University.

  Detail of landscape painting

Inspiration

Mainly rural based. My paintings are not always a direct representation of my immediate environment, I have for the last ten years been inspired by the Welsh landscape and coast. Trips to to Kenya, Berlin and the Czech Republic have inspired some further paintings.

My main current interests are constant experimentation with colour and shape, often taken from natural forms.

Commissions and sales across UK and Europe.
