CLART, back to light.

My name is Clare, and painting has been my way back to life. After experiencing deep personal trauma, I found myself disconnected from the world — and from myself. Picking up a paintbrush was never part of a plan; it was a survival instinct. Through color, texture, and emotion, I began to process what words could not express.

Art has become my healing language. Each piece I create holds a part of that journey — a movement from darkness into light, from silence into expression. My work is inspired by nature, emotion, and the invisible connections we all share. I believe that painting doesn’t just help me heal — it can also bring solace, connection, and reflection to others.

My hope is that, in viewing my art, others feel less alone in their own journeys. That they, too, might find beauty in vulnerability, and strength in creativity.
