Claire Montagu

I am an established portrait artist based in Mayfield, East Sussex, with a passion for art that began in school. Over the years, various teachers have encouraged me to explore different techniques and mediums, leading me to specialize in chalk pastels. I have undertaken numerous commissions, primarily of animals, where I strive to capture the individual personality of each subject with strong realism.

In recent years, I have also begun experimenting with abstract art and am currently working on a series of acrylic paintings inspired by a recent trip to India.
