Gaye Clear

I am a Seascape Artist, I have spent many years trying to capture the spirit, power & true essence of the sea which offers me endless inspiration. I have honed my skills through hard work & determination to achieve my own unique style.
I spend hours at the beach absorbing the ever changing light, how it casts its shadows one moment then the sun peeps through spreading dappled sparkles over the surface of the water. How one day can be calm & mesmerising, the next can be dramatic with crashing waves causing deep swells producing spectacular sprays, I try to capture this feeling in my work.
I paint from my mind, imagination & soul, I endeavour to draw the viewer into my paintings as if they were there. Initially I have no vision, I never know what will happen until it happens, it just becomes, as I paint my work comes alive during its evolving development.
I love to experiment using different mediums to achieve interesting textures you would see on the beach.
I strive to capture expressive atmosphere focusing on my feelings & representation of the subject.
I hold Workshops in my garden Studio & gain great satisfaction from guiding & sharing my skills with others.
