Clare Hawkes Fine Art

In the studio Clare makes, exhibits, and sells her original artworks. Many pieces are also available as Fine Art Giclee prints, cards, and gifts.

Clare specialises in contemporary expressionist painting:  working primarily with oils and depending heavily on use of colour and gesture, size, and scale.  Her work flits between figurative and abstract.

Inspiration can come from classical works – how these can be revisited in the light of changing values about the world of artists themselves, as well as their subjects, and from other cultural forms, such as literature, news and film.
