Art House 8
Address: 130/4 Portobello High Street
Open: 6/7 and 13/14 September, 10am-6pm
From her colourful shed in the garden, Claire will show a selection of prints and paintings of birds, some local beach views and other recognisable locations around Portobello.
Claire’s work focusses upon bird life and nature around Portobello and the human engagement which can be brought to that subject. Exhibiting a range of new paintings and prints, she will also have a back catalogue of prints of birds on show with retrospective work produced and refined for this year’s Art Walk Porty.
In addition Claire has been producing textile work for trade outlets abroad and is looking forward to expanding some new work ideas in paint, pastel and print. She is a keen gardener and wildlife enthusiast, and works to ensure the communal garden is planted with bee and butterfly friendly plants.
After studying at Edinburgh College of Art obtaining a BA (Hons) in drawing, painting, printmaking, Claire has had many years’ experience in printmaking, and set up own business selling cards and prints in November 2011.
