Claire McKnight

Artist/Designer/Stained Glass Maker

My paintings nearly always contain people or animals, often birds and circus-like people. It is generally in acrylic on various grounds ie.canvas, wood panels or heavy watercolour paper. I devote a huge amount of time to each painting so to alleviate what sometimes feels like an overwhelming inward scream, I jump from one discipline to another. When I complete a painting it's a pleasure to move on to a piece of stained glass because it needs to be designed and then constructed and there's no going back! Painting is so different - constant thought and changes.
