Clare Caulfield

Graduating with first class honours from a surface pattern degree in Staffordshire in 2000,

Clare Caulfield set off travelling and documenting what she saw in her own unique style.

Clare’s work documents her travels to some of the world’s greatest cities including Venice,

Florence, New York and London.  Most recently Paris has provided much inspiration

for a series of new pen & watercolour paintings from compositions of Notre Dame

to bustling streetscenes.

Drawing has always been a very important part of Clare’s work.

She is fascinated by architecture be it the Midtown skyscrapers of Manhattan,

The Grand Canal Venice or simply capturing Parisian life outside a brightly canopied

pavement café, from which she strives to create spontaneous lively linework.

She enjoys the scratchy line quality achieved using dip pen & ink,

the weight of the line altering with the amount of pressure applied.

Clare has also produced a range of new work on the unique Victorian ‘model’ village

of Saltaire in Yorkshire (World Heritage site). The United Reformed Church

is one of Britain’s most precious and unique examples of Italianate architecture

which Clare has interpreted in her own individual style. Clare has also been

specially commissioned by Salts Mill in the heart of Saltaire to produce a limited edition

of 199 original screenprinted cards depicting the mill. These prints are exclusive to Salts Mill.

Clare’s work can be found for sale at the Heart Gallery in Hebden Bridge.
