retour/return (2018) Painting by Claire Mcinnerny

A French National, I have lived and worked in England as a Languages Secondary School Teacher. Then I went to Art School in London. I have sold work all over the world and now share my time between London and Burgundy, France, where I have my studio and where I teach. I exhibit several times a year in and around Beaune, Burgundy.
Every new painting is an adventure, an experiment with textures and composition. I paint with acrylics and oils and I mix all sorts of media, sand, glue, paper, charcoal, pastel, inks etc... I let the creative process take over and techniques sometimes override composition. I never erase anything, all "errors" being fortuitous and part of the transient process of creating miracles on the canvas. I am an expressionist mostly and my work is imaginary but I have done commissioned portraits and landscapes for clients. I have also worked in theatre ( scenery/ props design ) in the UK and some of my paintings have been chosen for plays and set designs.
I am registered as an Artist in The UK.
