About Claire McCall

 
 
  • Biography
    It was the exhibition of one artist that flicked the artistic switch for me in my thirties.There have been many painting miles refining my skills with varied/bold brush strokes to give my works visual texture.Originally, I picked up the palette knife to loosen my painting technique.With a brush in hand, I was often tempted to agonise over the detail.I actually love the loss of control that the knife provides and the application of oil paint with its buttery texture.
