Claire Benn’s multi media arts works are incredibly atmospheric as the combination of colours and textures allows the viewer time to reflect and absorb their calming presence. We are asked Claire what inspires her. “Remote landscape and the visual translation of what I experience, think or feel in that landscape.  My aim is one of representational abstraction.  Hand stitch is my other inspiration in the sense that the resulting works communicate the meditation of the act.  Stitch generates a visual ‘mark’ of time.  It is literal texture and can be felt.”
