On The Creative Cure podcast today, I'm joined by my old friend Claire is an artist and heritage professional who lives and works in Wiltshire. She studied Interdisciplinary Art and Design at University (where we actually met) and also has a Masters degree in Heritage Management. Claire made the (brave) decision to take a break from her full time job as a Visitor Services Officer at a Town Museum to focus on her art practice. Since then, she’s been building her portfolio and skill set has now decided to embark on a specific printmaking course to further her range of techniques. Claire uses her love of locations, history, architecture and nature to bring the places she sees to life and I’m so excited to chat to her today.You can find out more about Marianne here: https://www.francesandrose.co.uk/Or give her a follow on instagram here: @francesandrose Give her a follow on instagram here: @claire_selman_artMusic with thanks to bensound https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/acoustic-breeze
