Claire Cansick

Claire’s work is inspired by nature and its offer of escape, as a recoil to the concrete town from whence she came. Paintings which map her journey are inspired by a deep concern for the natural world, where she plays with themes of self, connecting the land and sea to her own emotive responses. Representation of land and sea sometimes embody various metaphorical content, whether snakes, skeletons, faces or shadows, or elemental themes of fire, flood and wind, these act to look deeper into the artist’s psyche and her place in the world.
