Naturally Curious...
What we see, what we feel, what we hear.
​
Hi, I'm Clare, a mixed media artist based in the South West of England, where I am inspired every day by the beauty of the countryside and coastal landscape.
​
A natural curiosity drives the desire to soak up the sights and sounds and convey these into colours on the page, whether it’s in my sketchbook, paper, or canvas.
The Pondering of an Artist
A blog from an Artist’s attic studio
written by Clare Smith
Take a look into my corner of the world, my observations and indeed my ponderings.
​
My blog posts are thought processes of the nature that surrounds us, our connection to that nature and how it can enhance our lives. My posts cover many themes, but all have creativity, the love of nature and the outside world at their heart. My pondering has empowered me to promote a healthy mindful lifestyle and will hopefully inspire you in some way on your life journey.
Please take a look through, have a read and feel free to connect with me for more information. You can also find me over at Substack, TikTok, and I have my own YouTube channel, where I share my sketchbook creations, art materials and mixed media techniques. Just search for Purple Ladybird Art and don't forget to subscribe, like & comment, it helps my small channel to grow.
