Desert in bloom

This is a lovely time of year in Phoenix, Arizona. The flowers are staring to bloom and the desert has come alive with color. I have just finished these mixed media paintings from a series I will call Desert in Bloom. If you are interested in purchasing any of my painting just sent me a message via the contact me page.

Curator’s Corner!

We are excited to be featured in the Curator’s Corner of the Christmas at the National Gallery newsletter! The exhibition will run until Jan 24th 2019

There is also a lovely article written about the exhibition by Patrice A. Donalds. “Claire Musser’s art vivid pastels drew your eyes immediately to her desire to see a better balance between man and the delicate environment they have been gifted. Her piece Botanic Park left a deep impression on my mind’s eye, and brightly coloured images of the park found its way into the video installation. The video was a mesmerizing journey of a young lady, her red balloon and how both their presence impacts the sea, the mangroves, flora, and fauna of the Botanic Park. Words cannot describe the powerful imagery the video evoked; it must be seen and experienced for one’s self.”

Selected for the National Gallery’s Biennial Exhibition!

I’ve been busy working on my art this summer and decided to submit one of my digital prints for the National Gallery’s Biennial Exhibition. A panel comprised of international and local Jurors has reviewed by over 100 works by 71 artists and deliberated for two days. They were looking for overall conceptual and technical strength, along with artistic originality. I am delighted to report that my submission ‘Cayman Utopia’ has been selected for this exhibition!  I cant wait to see the print in the main gallery, the exhibition runs from the 24 Jan 19 to the 18 Apr 19. Here is a sneak peak of the print. You can lean more about the exhibition here.

Opening night of Traces: Activating the Art Curriculum

It was an amazing night at the opening of Traces: Activating the Art Curriculum. It was an honor to be asked by the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands to participate in this exhibition. My Queen Elizabeth II Royal Botanic Park painting can been seen as their Facebook cover photo!

I’m so proud of all my colleagues from high schools across Cayman. It was especially wonderful working with Sarah McDougall to produce our Common Thread collection based on the work we do here at CIFEC. We look forward to talking about our project and the work we do at the National Gallery in early 2019!
