Clare Doveton

Clare Doveton studied painting at Parsons School of Art and Design in New York City, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1998. After years living in congested urban environments, Doveton moved back to her home of Kansas in 2005. Her paintings are rooted in a deep connection to the land there, and the magic of being solitary and present in nature. Clare has taken pollinator conservation courses through Xerces Society and NRCS, and received Permaculture Design Certification through Kansas Permaculture Collaborative in 2010. She has worked with pollinator ecologists documenting monarch activity on Native Tall Thistle, which often show up in her work along with other plant guides. Meditation practice is central to her work and life, as are solitary retreats out onto the prairie with her dog Suki. Doveton’s work can be found in public and private collections worldwide including KU Medical Center, New School University, Truman Medical Center, and Kansas University.
