Clare McIntyre

Clare is a formally-trained artist and designer who lives in Toronto. She spent her early childhood in St. John’s, Newfoundland surrounded by jellybean houses and wild, dramatic landscapes. The essence of those memories tends to persist in her art. Clare is drawn to unbounded and uncontrolled nature that bursts with life. Her paintings come from deep observation, with compositions that appear to expand past the edges of the canvas, and have layers that go deeper than the canvas surface.

After earning a BFA from Concordia University and an advanced diploma for Interior Design from Sheridan College, Clare spent several years working as a designer while maintaining an art practice alongside. In recent years she has made painting my primary focus, participating in several juried group shows and art festivals.
