What a rewarding day at University Centre Somerset delivering an oil paint making workshop, giving an artist talk & sharing my work with such great BA Fine Art Degree students.
So engaging & welcoming. Discussing the materiality of paint, the passion for colour & the importance of drawing.

Working in the studio in isolation these last few weeks has helped me to immerse myself in my Alaska inspired works. In series oil & pigment paintings on plywood & canvas and line drawings in charcoal pencil on Fabriano paper. These are all works in progress using colour & drawing into painting.

So very pleased to be one of 6 international artists selected for Turps Banana/PADA Residency, Lisbon, Portugal in September 2019. An intensive 1 month programme mentored by Phil King editor of Turps Banana Magazine.
Two person show with sculptor Lou Baker. A big thank you to everyone who came.
I am next exhibiting at the Walcot Chapel Bath, with sculptor Lou Baker disquiet. 18-23rd September 11-5pm with an open event on Saturday 22nd 2-5pm. All welcome.
disquiet is an exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Clare Thatcher and Lou Baker, who are showing together for the first time at Walcot Chapel in Bath. Although they use very different materials and processes they recognise similarities in their work and, for this exhibition, they have made some new pieces in response to one another’s work.
Good to be out drawing again on location. Observational line drawings with charcoal pencil and chalk on paper.
Studio sketches in paint, on heavy paper. Working in series. Experimenting with colour families separately. Beginning to explore near neighbours of colour.
