Michael Claxton

The simplicity of nature is a constant source of inspiration for Michael’s paintings, capturing the shifting light and the tranquillity of open spaces.

Michael’s aim is to capture the essence of a distant view, capturing the way light interacts with the landscape and nature.
Working from memory gives Michael more freedom and expression and the ability to work using bold open brushstrokes alongside palette knife mark making achieving rich textured paintings and creating more energy and emotion.
