Clare Halifax
Clare graduated from Loughborough University with a BA hons in Printed Textile Design. This was followed by an MA in Multi Disciplinary Printmaking from UWE which saw her work develop into Limited Edition Prints. Focusing on cityscapes, landscapes, botanicals and animals. Within each piece of work, design, pattern and colour, play an important part, adding depth and decoration to create a unique overall effect. Clients have included V&A Museum, ‘Coast’ Magazine, Liberty’s, Tate Online, Farrow & Ball, Huxleys Restaurant and the Berkley Group. Clare currently resides in London where she continues to be influenced by her everyday environment.
Clare creates illustrative screenprints inspired by cityscapes, scenes of nature and wildlife. Pattern and colour play an important role in giving Clare’s work a decorative and detailed appearance. Clare’s eye for aesthetic harmony instils balance and beauty in her art. Together with her refined palette, her attention to composition results in great skies or swirling patterns and seas of vibrant blues. Whether reflecting an everyday scene of city life or zooming in on a moment in the wild, Clare’s ability to capture the character of a place makes for a collection of uniquely embellished and spirited prints.
Since graduating, the design-led style and patterned appearance of Clare’s work has led to commissions from the likes of V&A Museum, Tate, Liberty London, John Lewis, Coast Magazine and Farrow and Ball. Clare’s art has become established throughout the UK, showing in group shows, galleries and fairs, as well as solo exhibitions. Clare lives in Dalston, which has provided endless inspiration for her work, and currently creates her prints at the Print Club in London.
