Claire Layman depicts multi-layered marble like surfaces which shows a myriad of colours, three dimensional textures and light reflecting surfaces, all beneath a beautifully polished resin surface.

Unlike traditional painting techniques the secret iridescent textures of Claire Layman’s art is to be discovered beneath the surface, rather than upon it, enticing the viewer to look deeper.
Therpy
Claire’s work is heavily influenced by natural elements such as Water, Fire, Air and Stone. Her paintings have a unique three-dimensional quality to them and although their slick resin finish gives the viewer the impression of a perfectly smooth surface, upon closer inspection the paintings reveal light reflecting multi-layered textures below the surface, much like rock formations found naturally in nature.
