| 'The door (titled ‘No Fate But What We Make for Ourselves’) was originally done for a National Trust property open day (8th September 2013) so explores the ideas of the past and future to tie in contemporary art with the heritage setting' Clare Ormsby

'Initially I would describe myself as an abstract expressionist however my work is continually evolving. My 2009 collection
'Prophecies' comprised large allegorical abstracts based on biblical and prophetic themes. My latest solo exhibition (2011) entitled
'Perception' featured 2-dimentional and 3-dimentional objects interacting with each other, and was all about the elevation of the mundane
into fine art. This year I have been experimenting with introducing more figurative aspects into my art. Over the last 12 years I have used
acrylic paints and appliglues to develop my unique paint/draw style which is the method I have used in all my work." Clare Ormsby
