Clare Carswell MA(RCA) is a British contemporary artist who makes vibrant and expressive drawings and prints, alongside her work as a performance artist and a curator. Rich in colour and gestural mark making, her drawings combine observation with images from memory, imagination and folklore. They are often inspired by the natural world - the garden and landscape of the Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, where she lives and has her studio.

​

Clare exhibits in the UK and internationally and curates art exhibitions and performance art and other events. She lectured in fine art in higher education in the UK and abroad. She has run art activities for people living with dementia, in the community, and in care homes. She has run art classes for children, and for youth projects. She now teaches small group beginner art classes in her studio.
