Claire Nooka McAteer
Artist | Professional | Varied

United Kingdom

My artistic process is so varied that I struggle to encapsulate myself in a few sentences, but here goes….

* I create drawings, paintings, collages, digital photographs, digital art, short films and websites.

* The urge to create is something that I was born with and cannot escape from. For me, trying to not be an artist is like trying not to breathe.

*My art was initially a response to the trials of mental illness and the need for a cathartic release from negative emotions. I’ve become a much happier person over the last few years, but still feel a constant need to create new images. I’m aiming to create an intensive body of work that captures every emotion.

*I’m inspired by painters, illustrators, writers, directors, musicians, designers and anybody who creates work that’s beautiful, meaningful, expressive and from the heart.

I hope you enjoy viewing the selection of work I’ve shared here on DeviantArt. Feedback is always welcome. My full online portfolio is available at Calanooka.com
