Clare Chinnery is a contemporary British artist and painter based on the Wirral, Merseyside. Working primarily in oil paint, she creates expressive floral still lifes and landscapes. Her floral paintings are influenced by the drama, symbolism and beauty of 17th-century Dutch still-life painting, while her landscapes draw on places, memories and the atmosphere of the British and European landscape. Rich colour, layered paint and energetic mark-making are central to her work.
