About Me

Claire McCall is a self-taught artist and much of her process has developed intuitively over the years rather than by the 'rules'. Claire's unique style is rapidly gaining recognition in Australia with a number of awards to her name.

Artist statement:

Abstract or impressionistic backgrounds applied with a palette knife
are combined with realistic subjects detailed in textured brushstrokes.

My work captures everyday moments in time.Typically, a figure turned away
from the viewer in a candid pose.

The viewer is invited to complete the story..to fill in the blanks about
time, place, thoughts and emotion.

"In my early thirties, I had not yet discovered painting but had always found myself drawn into art galleries in passing to be lost in the works that hung on the walls.

It was one single exhibition by one wonderful artist that flicked the switch and inspired me to turn all of my attention to art and in particular impressionist oil painting..and I've not looked back.

I hope that others can enjoy my works as much as I enjoy creating them and maybe one day I will be the inspiration for another to immerse their artistic self in a love for painting.

The unique quality of my work lies in the creation of texture, colour and movement".
