LIVE! NYC in the Early Spring watercolors

I've been venturing out on warmer days this early springtime to paint from life in the city, mostly around my own West Village neighborhood, but other spots, too. With a fractured foot--on crutches!--for most of the beginning of the year, I was very limited mobility-wise and tended to stay put once I found a spot to paint for that session. You may know that I already enjoy returning to the same motif again and again; limited mobility made me double down on that and was an exercise in patience and slowing down.

Hello! I’m Clare, a painter working in watercolor and oil. I also accept commissions for custom paintings and make live drawings at events.

I live and work in NYC and travel often, usually to my home state of Virginia or to the south of France to paint. And when all else fails, I take a visit to the Met for a little escape! Art history shapes much of what I make, and I’m always aiming to continue my education.

If you find yourself in NYC, come by my studio for a visit—I love guests.

And let me know if you have any questions about the work here!
