Biography: Claire Payne discovered and explored her passion for art through her own personal life-journeys. As often happens, the journeys took her through good times as well as bad, and art gave her a means to survive, conquer, and rejoice in the celebration and joy of life. Watercolor is Claire’s favorite medium, but she enjoys trying her hand at various media on different surfaces. In this class, artists will play with alcohol inks on a synthetic surface called YUPO.

Claire’s work has been accepted into international juried shows as well as the International Society of Experimental Art. She has been recognized at the Watercolor Art Society-Houston, and she has won numerous 1st-place awards in art shows around the country.

“I love the vibrant colors and exciting freedom of alcohol inks. I paint for pure pleasure and the fun of the art.”
