Clare Caulfield
Clare Caulfield is a Yorkshire
based Artist and Printmaker who graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in
Surface Pattern Design from Staffordshire University in 2000. Combining the
processes of drawing, painting and various printmaking techniques Clare
captures the excitement, life and vibrancy of many of the world’s most enticing
cities including Paris, New York, Venice, London and Prague. The magic of each
location being recreated in Clare’s very distinctive and appealing illustrative
style of working.
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 in Venice or simply
capturing Parisian life outside a brightly canopied pavement cafe.
Clare’s love of drawing and
use of line lend themselves perfectly to her work as a printmaker. She produces
her handmade original prints at West Yorkshire Print Workshop where she also
teaches weekend screen print courses.
Screen printing allows Clare
to transfer the lively original drawings often taken directly from her
sketchbook produced whilst on her travels, onto both paper and canvas enabling
her prints to maintain this great sense of spontaneity. Within many of her screen
prints Clare combines elements of hand painted acrylic and watercolour
resulting in each print being a truly individual piece in itself. Clare also produces drypoint prints, a method
of intaglio printmaking as she enjoys the rich velvety line quality it
achieves.
Clare exhibits both her
paintings and original prints with galleries throughout the country in regular
solo and group shows.
