C J Clare

Starting out as a Graphic Designer in Toronto I later became enthralled with the fine arts. Painting in oil, acrylic, encaustic, egg tempera, mixed media and even sculpture. I have studied many techniques and styles at various schools including the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario), Toronto School of Art, ArteMbassy, Avenue Road Art School and Maggiolly Arts.

For five years I was the artistic director on the AIDSbeat Event committee. This long running extraordinary battle of bands, from the legal field, raises funds for CANFAR's AIDS Research. I helped create concepts like 60s MOD, Las Vegas Casino, Rock & Roll Circus, Summer of Love, executing large wall and floor graphics, interactive photo installations such as a Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, a John & Yoko Bed-In, interactive Circus portraits, and print and web design.

I have branched out to include abstract and landscapes. I also take on commissions of all sorts, pets, children, homes and special moments.
