“Creativity isn’t something
’I do’ as such, but perhaps more accurately described 
as who ’I am’.

I cannot distinguish between the two and split one off from the other, because a life without creativity wouldn’t feel like
a life at all.

Being in my studio is soul food, and knowing that the art I produce brings delight to a child, absolutely completes that 
sense of nourishment”.

Clare Nicholson

Clare has a Bachelor of Visual Arts with honours, and is a multi award-winning artist living in Mullumbimby - a small rural town close to Australia’s most easterly point, Byron Bay. Her professional art practice is central to her life and the acquiring and perfecting of artistic skills has been an intrinsic lifetime endeavour.

Her love of free spirited horses was sown as a child growing up in England, and has remained strong. Much of her inspiration comes from nineteenth century French horse painter and sculptor Rosa Bonheur, who received international acclaim with her anatomically correct huge paintings of horses, and subsequent decoration with the prestigious Legion d' Honneur.
