My abstract paintings in digital, acrylic and mixed media respond to the shifting relationship between mind, emotion and environment. Influenced by landscape, the cosmos and world events, my work draws on 23 years of exhibiting practice.

Claire Tinker-Mill is a self taught artist based in Lancashire. Her work focuses on textures and movement, using fabric collage, embroidery and beading to create stitchscapes inspired by the natural world, with a dash of whimsy. Heavily inspired by the coastlines of Lancashire and Northumberland, and aim to recreate the calm and peace time by the ocean can bring. The pieces are tactile, detailed and designed to inspire a pause while you look for another hidden detail, or make you smile in a world which can be gloomy.

I like to experiment with acrylics and inks and enjoy using different ways to use the paint.
In my previous life as a lecturer in design history, specifically fashion and textiles, I had amassed a large collection of vintage fabrics that I used in my teaching. When I left the profession in 2015 I began to sell my collection. I also began using the scraps and off-cuts that were too small to sell to make hand-made coasters and key rings. These products express my passion for pattern, designers and manufacturers of the 1950s and 1960s. Coasters are made using glass or acrylic casings and are available as singles or sets of four. Vintage printed fabric often has lovely repeating patterns, but individual coasters vary to produce unique sets. I also re-use old French linen sheets, that I dye and combine with vintage fabric to make aprons and tote bags.

Since 2011, I’ve been drawn to the timeless craft of bench jewellery. Sterling silver became my perfect medium – shaping, refining, and transforming into handmade wearable art, including rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings.
