Claire McKnight - OnTharHill
I paint, I make stained glass lights, panels and boxes and I also make prints and drawings.
I draw constantly, normally in pen and ink but I love colour.
When I’m painting I try to use colour in a subtle way but I find it a challenge so being able to make things in stained glass is a godsend. I can let loose with the colours and the light shining through it does the rest!
During this year’s multiple lockdowns I’ve returned to printmaking in a big way. Peeling back the paper to reveal what’s been printed gives me great pleasure. I can play with the colours so the print can be subtle or less so. It’s a fantastic way to work for me.
I suppose I’m a realist – the sound of a bird, an unexpected flake of snow, mist hanging in the valley are what move me and hopefully also help add a touch of magic to my work.
Enjoy a stroll through my work and across the hillside that is my home in The Wye Valley. It is linked to my Instagram account and Etsy accounts
