Melton Mowbray based artist

Claire Powell was born and raised in Leicestershire and she lives nearby us in the wonderful part of the world that is Melton Mowbray. Her career as an artist can really be traced back to the 1990s, as it was at this point that a period of ill health enforced a change of job. In this difficult period, she was gifted an art set, and it really was love at first use. She then began a long creative journey, during which time both her passion and her skills deepened and extended each day. After a decade or so of personal discovery with different artistic media, Claire became a professional artist in 2008.

Take a look across the range and you will see Claire's love for the natural world, in all its forms, shine through. Whether she is walking through the countryside in England taking inspiration from the new blooms in the meadows, or setting her artistic sights on animals from other continents such as magisterial tigers, Claire's passion for the beauty of nature is a driving force in all that she does creatively.
