ABOUT

Claire Stapleton is a self-taught, New Zealand born artist based in Sydney, Australia.

Inspired by the human form and the connections we have with each, Stapleton’s work is a continuous journey as she explores both conscious and unconscious responses through the process of painting on paper, raw linen and cotton canvas, and ceramics. With 5 years in her practice, her use of expressive colours, gestures and form is ever evolving. Her current interest is in the negative space around us, and exploring dynamic brush strokes and colour palettes to bring to life playful impasto portraits.

Despite being an emerging artist, you'll already find Stapleton's work hanging in private homes and businesses around the world.
