Born in 1972, Claire Sandars did an art foundation
course in Cheltenham followed by a degree in Fine Art at Reading
University. After moving to London in 1995, she worked briefly in
the film industry and later became an art consultant advising
clients and commissioning other artists for a wide variety of
projects.
In 2003, Claire moved to South Africa for eighteen months in order
to pursue her career as a full time artist and get closer to her
main source of inspiration, wildlife.
Claire's paintings have a strong filmic quality which is
demonstrated in the use of panoramic shapes capturing snapshots
of movement and the raw, vividly cropped compositions. She
combines traditional painting and glazing techniques with an
unorthodox use of colour to give the work a dynamic and
contemporary feel. |
