BIO
Clare Doveton is an artist whose work arises from deep stillness, solitude, and a long-time meditation practice. After earning her BFA in painting from Parsons School of Design in New York City, she relocated to the Midwest, where the expansive prairie skies and subtle rhythms of the land reshaped her work. Out on the tallgrass, she began paying close attention—to native plants, bird migrations, the phases of the moon, and the invisible forces guiding both nature and human experience.
Her paintings often reflect a quiet attunement to the passage of time, celestial movement, and the way light bends across the landscape. Doveton has collaborated with ecologists to document pollinator habitat and native plants, such as Tall Thistle and Milkweed, which appear in her work as symbolic guides. She holds a Permaculture Design Certificate and has completed pollinator conservation training through the Xerces Society and NRCS.
Her current series explores the moon’s gravitational pull, the navigation of birds by stars, and how direction—both physical and spiritual—is found through stillness. Her work stems from her time out in nature and on meditation retreats, and invites the viewer to slow down and look closer at the quiet forces shaping our world.
