Eva Burton, Clare - Biography |
||
Clare Eva Burton's fascinating use of an impressionist brush combines with her unique sense of light and speed to create a feeling of movement that floods the canvas with energy and excitement. Her striking paintwork creates vivid effects that almost bring her horses snorting out of the frame. Born in 1955, Claire ranks as one of the foremost exponents of equestrian art. Her love of horses dates from childhood and her paintings express all that is powerful, dynamic and colourful within the racing world. Having sketched her way through childhood, Claire attended the Medway College of Art. The riding experience she gained there gave her the in-depth knowledge and understanding of her subject that creates great art. Claire comments: "Working with racehorses was my best education". In 1981 her work came to the attention of the directors of the Cheltenham Racecourse and at the astoundingly young age of 26 she was commissioned to paint a series of pictures for the Queen Mother's Royal Box. A one-man exhibition in London's Bond Street soon followed, and today her work is ardently collected by eager connoisseurs throughout the world, in the form of original paintings and limited editions. |
