Clare is a visual artist whose work is concerned with the ordinary and unnoticed – looking for beauty in the everyday mundane. She works across a range of media - from drawing and sculpture to artists’ books and live art events, often in the form of walks. Collaborative work with the artists Gail Burton and Serena Korda as walkwalkwalk: an archaeology of the familiar and forgotten uses walking to investigate place and explore urban routines, generating texts, sound, film and live art events.

Clare is a lecturer in the Performing Arts field, with responsibility for planning, delivery and evaluation of teaching on undergraduate modules. Clare is a part time (0.5) lecturer combining teaching and research responsibilities with a visual arts studio practice.
