Clare O'Neill | Contemporary PhotoEncaustic Artist

Hi there! I’m Clare, a contemporary artist working with photographs, pigments, beeswax, and oils. I’m a passion-fuelled artist and entrepreneur. I believe art makes each of us (and the spaces we live in) more lively and dynamic…..completing our rooms and feeding our souls. I believe each of us has our own unique sense of style…..with art being an extension of our individual style. There are umpteen reasons why we may or may not connect to a piece of artwork. But at its most sublime, art transports us to a time, a place, a feeling, or a memory. We are reminded of some profound connection; it becomes a commentary on our lives: past, present, or imagined.

+ + + + +  Be Moved, inspired, and captivated – Each piece of work is beautifully created with intent–each with its own story to tell. It’s these everyday stories that connect us, to our own lives and those close to us. So whether this is your first piece or you are adding to your growing collection, go ahead and see yourself in the art you choose. Live with art, personalize your space, and feed your soul.		+ + + + +  Stay in the Loop – Sign up and receive my list of 7 Ways to Incorporate Art into your Personal Style. You see, for me, it’s not about a singular piece of work; it’s the way the art fits into your life and how it makes you feel. I won’t email frequently but when I do you’ll be the first to know about new work, behind the scenes stories and my inspirations about lifestyle, art, and design.		+ + + + + Learn the process – You love photography and want to put more of yourself into your work all while being more hands on. I love that too. If you are interested in learning the process, visit my teaching web site at PhotoEncaustic.com, where you’ll learn tons of good stuff about taking your photographs to new dimensions and creative possibilities.

FREE RETURN SHIPPING My dream is to create the most unimaginable beautiful works of art and have them hanging in peoples homes, making them feel good. But I also understand that when you get it home it might not work in your space. No problem. We'll arrange for the work to be shipped back within 14 days — at no cost to you.   INTERIOR DESIGNERS I love working with interior designers and helping source artwork for your projects. It's always a rush to see how my art can easily translate into a designers aesthetic — whether it be modern, transitional, mid-century modern, industrial, eclectic, contemporary, or Southwestern. I'm here to make it as easy as possible for both you and your client.   CUSTOM HORSE PORTRAITS Sometimes you just want a portrait of your own horse. I understand completely and would be happy to schedule a photo shoot and create a custom painting for you. Please contact me to schedule a session.       SAVE THE BEES My initiative to help save the bees is a priority. I proudly support several organizations committed to honoring the bees and their connection to our well being. Without these magnificent creatures many of our crops — and my livelihood as an artist — would be in great peril. I hope you will join me as my sustainability journey deepens—and grows. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
