Did you study art?
Went to TAFE for three years. It was fantastically practical and I enjoyed experimenting with a variety of mediums.
Where do you make your art?
I work from a studio in my shed where I create a creative mess.
What are you working on at the moment?
I have been painting a series of oil paintings. I like showing windy pictures.
What is your favourite medium?
I like watercolour because it is instant, I can add layers and the scribblier and freer the better.
Where do you find inspiration?
From things people say and childhood memories.
What have been some of your most enjoyable art projects?
My most favourite art projects are children's books because it is collaborative and I get to play with other peoples ideas. I also like making art with children.
Do your artworks turn out like how you imagined?
No, but I don't mind. I write captions of text to include in my paintings. But sometimes once I have painted a character it doesn't need words or I think of something different to add to the story in the painting.
Where else can we see your work?
I am having a couple of exhibitions at the end of this year. The details for them are on my website www.clairerichards.com.au
