A Safari Memory, Painted
Created from photographs taken during a family trip to Africa, this painting was commissioned as a birthday gift. I was given the freedom to choose the image that spoke to me — a beautiful African sunrise with the silhouette of a giraffe.
“She didn’t simply recreate the photograph. She brought to life the depth, color and beauty they likely experienced standing there in person. She transformed a photograph into a memory you could feel.”
“This became so much more than a painting. It is a meaningful piece of our family’s story that will be treasured for a lifetime.”
Dragonflies & Lavender
Created as a special birthday gift for a dear friend, this watercolor brought together delicate dragonflies, soft lavender blooms and a peaceful sense of movement.
“Somehow, she managed to create something that feels both peaceful and full of life. It isn’t simply a beautiful painting; it’s a meaningful gift from a lovely friend, and that makes it priceless to me.
If you have the opportunity to own something created by Clare, you’re not just getting a piece of art—you’re getting a little piece of her heart.”
Remembering Tinker
After 13½ wonderful years as a much-loved member of the family, Tinker’s portrait was created as a lasting reminder of the little dog who had brought so much love into their lives.
“Clare didn’t simply paint a beautiful likeness of her—she somehow captured Tinker.
There is such tenderness and feeling in her work. She paints more than what she sees—she captures something of the heart and spirit of her subject.
What an extraordinary gift—to take a cherished memory and turn it into something that can be held onto forever. We will treasure it always.”
