Clare Pumfrey

I have been working on both canvas and paper with various materials including charcoal, ink, acrylic paint, gesso, oil sticks and graphite, developing a continuing interest in the human form and the visual quality of the finished surface. Layers build up gradually, obscuring images sometimes, which may be revealed at a later stage. Rollers, brushes, fingers, washing away marks, scratching, water spraying, scraping all contribute to the surface vocabulary. 

I was a professional ceramic conservator/restorer before being able to draw and paint full time once I stopped working. I live in the South Hams.
