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.
