Gaye Clear

I am a Seascape Artist, I have spent many years trying to capture the spirit & power of the sea that offers me endless inspiration. I have honed my skills through hard work & determination to achieve my own distinct unique style. I spend hours at the beach absorbing the ever changing light, I love how it casts its shadows one moment, then the sun peeps through spreading dappled sparkles & patterns over the surface of the water, I try to capture this feeling in my work. I paint from my mind, imagination & soul, I endeavour to draw the viewer into my work, as if they were there. As I paint my work comes alive during its evolving development, initially I have no vision, I never know what will happen until it’s happened, it just becomes, every process is exciting. I love to experiment using different mediums to create textures you would find on the beach. I strive to capture atmosphere by focusing on light, colour & mood to evoke a feeling. The main thing that excites me is the constant journey of learning & experimenting to improve my skills.
I hold regular workshops in my garden Studio & gain great satisfaction from guiding & sharing my passion with others.
