Claire Smith Art

British, American, b. 1969
Born in Portsmouth, England in 1969, Claire Smith graduated from Falmouth School of Art in 1991 with a 1st Class degree in ‘Fine Art & Printmaking’. Four years later, Claire moved to southern Norway where she lived for 10 years before moving to San Francisco in 2015. Both of these locations can be clearly seen in her work. From the sparse, open vistas of the Norwegian sea to the angular, liminal sprawl of San Francisco bay area, Claire’s work is a direct reflection of the world around her. These distinctly different subjects are united by her ability to breath life into what is an otherwise a desolate view. The juxtaposition between the sky and the foreground is a regular feature, prompting a sense of calm contemplation. Presenting the viewer with familiar scenes from distinct perspectives, Claire’s work explores the familiar with a sense of novelty. Claire says: “Employing layers of colour I want to recreate the interplay between the landscape, light and seasons, bringing the illusion of depth to the two-dimensional surface.”

This piece is inspired by a coastal shoreline, grasses, wild flowers and seed heads blowing in the wind with the essence of sea and sky.

High Summer, Impressionist Style Floral Painting, Naive Landscape Art, Bright

By Rosemary Farrer

Located in Deddington, GB

High Summer an Original Painting by Rosemary Farrer. This is one of a new series of paintings I've been working on recently. Inspired by time spent drawing and making colour studies in a Piet Oudolf designed garden in Somerset. The colours and plant shapes were beautiful as well as the way they were planted in sinuous drifts and repeated through the space. A perfect evocation of high summer. Colour is my passion, it has the power to change your mood and to evoke memories and emotions. In the words of Georgia O'Keeffe 'I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn't say in any other way – things I had no words for. Rosemary Farrer is available online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Rosemary artists and printmaker sells with us online and in our art gallery in Stow-on-the-Wold. Rosemary paints in oils and also makes original prints. The prints are in no way copies of the paintings, they are conceived of, and made, as a response to the special and wonderful effects that can be achieved only through the various techniques of printmaking, whether it be the graphic, dynamic marks of a linocut, or the subtle tones and textures achievable in aquatint and etching. Design, composition and the use of colour are what excite her. She spends a lot of time drawing and painting outside, back in the studio, she will distil these ideas into strong graphic woodcuts, and linos or subtly textured etchings. Recent monotypes draw together the threads of her different media, with their graphic shapes and rich painterly colours. She studied fine art at Camberwell School of Art and The Ruskin School of Drawing, and learned printmaking at Morley College [London]. She has exhibited prints...
