Clare Van Stolk

As a painter I find it difficult to describe my work in words.
My aim is to dissapear in that wonderful flow, where the brush moves, the paint appears on the canvas and every subconscious impuls is followed blindly.
Inspiration comes from many sources but the last year I have sought it in flowers. I have no premeditated plan or image of the result. I follow my heart and discover the subjects message when I emerge from my flow.
I remain wary of tricks, cliches and flattery.
