With a passion for colour, Claire’s works are joyful and abundant - filled with layers, textures and tiny details that pull you in. Mark-making is an important element within her work which spans from the intuitive abstract to the naive still life.

Colour is the language Claire uses to explore and uplift with subjects a reflection on daily life and the landscape we work within. Layers and layers mean for delicious textures, and depth that can never be repeated.

A kiwi with an Architecture background, Claire’s works speak of the landscape, made forms and explore the sense and emotions of belonging. From the eternal dichotomy within her to either embrace the abundance, or to simplify to the most fundamental form, (and all the grades in between) her works are first and foremost an expression of emotion, an evolution in time, a comment on the emotions of the now, capturing the joy of life in the moment.

“You feel the sun on your face as you look towards the blue, blue sky. A gentle breeze floats past to cool the skin and you hear the muffled distant sounds of summer - the laughter, the birds, the movement. A deep, happy and heartfelt sigh wells up inside, a count of all the blessings you have and are feeling. How lucky you are to be living in another world, how lucky to be on Paradise Isle.”

Claire Cummack, 2024
