Clare Doveton is a painter whose work stems from meditation and being in nature. After earning her BFA in painting from Parsons School of Design in New York City and working for years in urban environments, she relocated to the midwest, where the expansive skies and subtle rhythms reshaped her work. She began paying close attention to the phases of the moon, constellations, massive bird migrations, and the invisible forces guiding both nature and human experience. Her paintings reflect her own quiet attunement to the passage of time, celestial movements, and a deep connection to the land.
Her current series explores the moon’s gravitational pull, bird migration, star navigation, and how direction—both physical and spiritual—can be found through stillness. Her work stems from her time in nature and on extended meditation retreats around the country, and each painting invites the viewer to slow down and look more closely at the quiet forces shaping our world.
