Bear The Artist
Claire London
I have a real passion for Abstract Art and enjoy exhibiting and selling my works locally and across the globe.
My works mainly consist of small limited runs of experimental abstract pieces on recycled wood sometimes using old paper clippings and acrylics to create layers which I then distress. I work very organically on a wide range of subjects allowing myself freedom to express enjoying happy mistakes.
In the past I have worked on projects designing albums covers and zines for independent record labels and have enjoyed using inks and printing techniques for this.
My web page showcases some of my early works and projects one being Stem which was a true labour of love looking deep into spiritual arts and the connection to our health and wellbeing.

In 2020 I started exhibiting and selling works at the Workhouse Dunstable where I was an artist in residence.
​
I also set up Art Spa a mini enterprise working in Art in Health in the community and was lucky enough to win funding to support this during the pandemic.
​
I also won Art Council funding to support my works as a freelance artist.
