Clare Barton-Harvey

Clare Barton-Harvey is a full-time artist, tutor, mentor and freelance teacher/trainer living and working in London. She received BA (Hons) Fine Art in 1998, and in 2003 studied drawing, to MA level, at the Royal Drawing School. Her drawing and paintings are held in private collections across the UK, Europe and America. 

Drawing is an essential component in her work. She is influenced by calligraphy with respect to the embodied mark/gesture and works with natural pigments foraged from the earth, plants and rocks. Her work is based on the view that if one enters deeply enough into one’s ‘experience’, then one finds the ‘universal’. Clare has practised mindfulness meditation for over 27 years and works as a freelance drawing and mindfulness teacher/trainer in a variety of locations including City Literary Institute, The National Gallery, British Museum, British Library, Pallant House Gallery and the Queens Gallery. She is a practising Buddhist and received ordination in 2006.
