Clare Shepherd
Clare studied at The Slade School of Fine Art and was The Slade Prizewinner for her graduating year.

Her work currently has two main threads running through it, firstly her landscapes, which are based on Dorset where Clare lives, Exmoor near where she grew up and The Middle East where she studied in the past and travels to at every opportunity.

Clare also paints Icons; images which emerge from her used tear-off palettes and are linked to the idea that the Turin Shroud is like an image emerging from shadow-shapes.

Clare has been exhibiting increasingly both locally and further afield. She has won prizes for her work and has been given various prestigious commissions, both landscape and portrait. Her work is in collections in Tokyo, USA, and London and with many people including Robert Winston (Lord Winston), Jean Corston MP and many other collectors of her work.
