About

Claire Campling graduated from King Alfred’s College, Winchester, in 1999 with a First Class Honours degree in Art and Psychology. She went on to Reading University to gain her Post Graduate Certificate of Education, qualifying her to teach Art and Design to students aged 11-18. Claire taught Art and Design at Perins Community School, Alresford, for five years before moving on to St Swithun’s School, Winchester, where she worked for four years. Claire has recently taken on the role of Head of Art at Horris Hill School near Newbury. Her current body of work comprises around ten years worth of pieces from Claire’s university days through to her current paintings. Themes include the exploration of texture and organic forms, the representation of the figure and landscape studies. Claire has used a wide range of media and materials over the years; she strongly favoured collage and mixed media at university and more recent works have seen her focus mainly on oil painting. Claire is happy to be contacted regarding commission pieces.
