Clare McIntyre

I am an artist and designer who lives in Toronto. I spent my early childhood in St. John’s, Newfoundland, surrounded by colourful “jellybean” row houses and wild, dramatic landscapes. A setting which engaged my artistic sensibilities from a young age, and continues to inspire me.

After earning a BFA from Concordia University and an advanced diploma for Interior Design from Sheridan College, I spent several years working as an interior designer while maintaining a casual art practice alongside. While working in design, I found I could bring artistry to spaces through impactful focal points and features. In recent years I have made painting my primary focus, participating in several juried group shows and art festivals in Toronto. I enjoy being active in arts programming and community as a member of Workman Arts.

I am often found in my home studio, immersed in a range of creative pursuits and side quests. My twin, tween daughters keep me sharp with their curiosity, humour, and fierce individuality.
