Story telling in a painting, Claire allows the viewer to narrate their own tale, often envoking very personal responses. Loving colour and fun, humour is never far away form Claire's stunning work!

Anniversary Tour - Celebrating 10 years

The Story behind George and Daphne.

In the beginning......


George and Daphne 
developed by chance 10 years ago following a holiday visit to Whitby Galleries. Following a conversation by my then 5 year old daughter which started with.... 'My Mummy paints...', led to a collaboration between myself and the Gallery.

I had painted a series featuring some quirky characters with umbrellas and we all believed they had potential. Many sketches later, saw the launch of George and Daphne. Two years later, I signed a contract with UK publishers Artko and I have been working with them ever since.

The Claire Baxter Galleries stock the Gallery Exclusive Collective which are all signed, limited edition prints, complete with certificates of authenticity.

To celebrate their ten year anniversary, I thought it was the perfect time to send them on a world tour. This colourful new series is OUT NOW!

The 'George and Daphne - Love Around the World' Anniversary Collection

I really hope you love it.

Fast forward to 2023, we exhibit and sell my originals, limited edition prints and fine art cards in galleries, exhibitions and fairs, online and my quirky collection of “George and Daphne” has helped spread my name throughout the UK with Artko publishing company.
