Clare Kent

From Venice to the Chelsea Flower Show, her passion for research has seen her travel the world in search of beautiful blossoms. When she’s not growing orchids at her home in Kent, she’s busy exploring Britain’s countryside and bluebell woods.

To create her paintings, Clare experiments with a variety of mediums, including wire wool and squeegees. Drawing upon her expansive art history knowledge – gleaned from studies and working at an art gallery – she intertwines research with innate emotion.

Clare says: “The openness of the skies are the yin to the yang of the intricate flowers, creating harmony within the paintings. It is so important to portray the delicateness and detail of a flower. They warrant time, care and devotion to show them off to their best.”
