June Meadow | CLAIRE OXLEY

Claire's abstract landscapes, inspired by the Norfolk countryside, are uplifting and soulful paintings brightening walls and homes with their vibrancy of colour and flowing movement.

Claire’s path to a career artist began through her studies of Art and Music at Lancaster, and Musicology at Oxford. She has always been fascinated by the interplay between music and art. Not only as she enjoys them both, but also as she has synesthesia, a condition where the brain links a person’s senses together in a rare manner, prompting unusual sensory responses to stimuli. For example, one might see a certain color in response to a certain letter of the alphabet. For Claire, one can see this sensory mêlée in her art with great effect as her brushstrokes are visual representations of music, as can be found on a music sheet. She expressed of her work “I tap into the rhythm of landscapes and seasons and draw on music from the natural world”. Of East Anglia, she gets energy from painting the nature around, as it is so vibrant and changing “if you pay attention, you’ll always get a different stimuli”
