I had the privilege of commissioning a bespoke painting from Clare, for a fiftieth birthday gift for my husband. The entire process was a pleasure. I provided Clare with a few photographs of my daughters and dog, and suggested a location for the painting. Clare was patient, warm, and extremely considerate in suggesting scenes right down to the layout and choice of frame. She took me on the stunning journey from preliminary sketch right through to the completed picture. That said, I wasn’t prepared for the final piece. Clare somehow managed to capture the character of my children so completely, and the painting is frankly breathtaking. I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to own such a stunning work of art, for an incredibly competitive price. Clare is not just a superb artist with a distinct and unique style- she’s a warm, kind and lovely person who made the nerve-wracking process fun and ultimately resulting in art my family will treasure for generations. Thank you so much for giving us this gift.

When my mum passed away, I wanted a reminder of the fun times that we had walking in Yorkshire. I have long been a fan of Claire’s George and Daphne artwork and felt that there was an opportunity for a truly individual memento so approached Claire for a commission.
I spoke Claire to see how I could request a work commissioning. After a few conversations, Claire helped shape the idea into something that she could work with. I was soon provided with a sketch of the idea so that I could confirm that it was a good interpretation of what I was looking for.
Because this was a bespoke request, I had to be patient to wait for the completed work. When I saw the art, I was blown away as it more than matched the brief. I can spend time looking at the picture, reminiscing with the permanent reminder my piece of art brings. Priceless to me.
From start to finish the engagement was friendly. It may seem like a big step into the unknown and investment, with Claire’s support, the outcome far exceeded what I had hoped for Thanks Claire!
