| Clare
says of herself: "I lead an active lifestyle which reflects in
my work. My main interest outside art is sport. In particular I have
practiced Tae Kwon-do, (Korean Martial Art) for fifteen years that
has inspired several works. It also enhances my understanding of the
interrelationship and function of the muscles, enabling me to capture
the spontaneity of movement. My aim is to suggest a gesture, a movement
by utilising the minimum of detail, leaving the mind of the observer
to complete the picture."
Clare graduated from South Glamorgan Institute of Higher Education
in 1989 with a BA in Fine Art. She has taken part in many solo and
group exhibitions including solo shows at the Bohun Gallery, Henley,
Guinness Gallery, Ireland and Milne & Moller in London. Throughout
her very successful career as a sculptor Clare has been awarded
numerous awards including amongst others; Finalist in British Airways
Award for Young Achievers in Art and the Spelthorne Design Award.
