Claire Philipps, part of an artistic dynasty
which includes her mother, sister and father and a grandparent on
either side, was brought up in Wiltshire and Pembrokeshire. Her
passion for the countryside is evident in all her paintings. She
captures colour and mod brilliantly and possesses a true understanding
of light which gives her watercolours a unique quality.
After four years working in London she began
to concentrate on her painting on a more full time basis. In between
commissions she took parties all over the world as a guide for Serenissima
Travel. Every second of spare time was devoted to painting - the
Nile, Prague, The Danube and India are just a few of the places
which feature in her sketch-books. On returning from her last trip,
in 1991, she had her first solo exhibition in London, including
many of the paintings from these expeditions. She has since had
two more solo exhibitions in 1992 and 1994, both of which were sold
out.
Claire has exhibited with Cricket Fine
Art for many years and is planning an exhibition with her mother,
Susie Philipps, at the Thirteen Langton Street Gallery in 2008.
