The Artist
As an artist in New Zealand, Claire Erica is deeply inspired by the vibrant and diverse birdlife that surrounds her. She creates large statement pieces that capture the beauty of these magnificent creatures, inviting viewers into a world of intricate detail and vivid color. Each painting is a labor of love, crafted with the finest brushes, the highest quality paints, and the most durable canvases, ensuring that every feather and every glint in the eye is rendered with precision and care.
To Claire, birds are more than just subjects; they are symbols of freedom, resilience, and the enduring connection between nature and humanity. Her art seeks to evoke these qualities, encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and appreciate the delicate balance of life.
Through her work, Claire aims to bring the majesty of New Zealand's birdlife into homes and galleries around the world, creating pieces that resonate on both an emotional and aesthetic level. Each painting is a celebration of the natural world, a testament to the power of detailed observation, and a reminder of the beauty that exists in the smallest of details.
”Growing up with a father who was a British photographer, a mother who excelled as a potter, and painter, and a sister who is an accomplished artist in her own right has been an incredible source of inspiration for me. Their creativity and artistic passions have profoundly shaped my own journey. “— Claire-Erica
