Clare Doveton is a painter whose practice explores the intersection of landscape, abstraction, and the metaphysical. Rooted in observation and intuition, her work reflects a deep engagement with natural phenomena—such as bird migration, moon phases, and star constellations—shaped by her experiences in solitude and on meditation retreats.
Doveton is known for her luminous paintings that navigate the symbolic terrain of the natural world. Through layered color fields, gestural marks, and references to star patterns and migratory flight, her work evokes a sense of place that is both internal and cosmic. These natural navigation systems serve as metaphors for her own search for clarity, presence, and direction in the every day.
She received her BFA in Painting from Parsons School of Design in New York City and holds a Permaculture Design Certificate, along with pollinator conservation training through the Xerces Society and NRCS. Doveton has collaborated with ecologists to document native plants and pollinator habitats—elements that appear in her paintings, rooted in the landscapes that often inspire and inform her practice. Her work has been widely exhibited throughout the United States and is included in numerous private and public collections. She has participated in artist residencies including Prairieside Outpost, where immersive experiences in remote landscapes continue to inform her visual language.
Currently based in Lawrence, Kansas, Clare Doveton continues to create paintings that bridge sensory experience, ecological rhythms, and spiritual inquiry.
