Claire was born in Omagh, Co Tyrone and still lives there with her parents, her brother and sister and her baby, Jack.

She was educated at Gibson Primary School, where she first developed an interest in art and later at Omagh Academy Grammar School where she garined a GCSE in Art and Design.  She then attended Omagh College of Further Education where she did an AVCE course in Art and Design.  Claire was accepted to study a HND at Beflast Institute of Further and Higher Education in 3D Design, but has decided to take a year out and is now working in a full time position in Topshop/Topman fashion retailers and is hoping to develop a full time career in visual merchandising.

She has always had a keen interest in Fine Art and has developed her own style with mainly oil paints and sometimes acrylics.  She works in her spare time from her studio at home where she produces her paintings of still life.  All Claire’s paintings are in her unique style of bright and vibrant colours.
