Joyful Paintings in acrylic by Claire West.

Claire West is a painter and printmaker who works from her studio in Beverley.  Her work is made with the intention of bringing joy through uplifting colours and subject matter.  Claire allows her work to organically develop.  Through a series of layers and mark making, images evolve when her imagination is free to invent and respond to the random marks.

Initially Claire trained in Interior Design before taking her Degree at Hull School of Art.  She believes that good training in design has enabled her to balance her strong use of colour and composition.  During the Covid years Claire completed her Masters Degree in Creative Practice at Hull School of Art.

Claire’s work has been licensed by major retailers and is often commissioned by Television Companies.  The paintings and prints are exhibited throughout the UK.
