Clare Hartigan
The Moment - Oil on Canvas
Clare Hartigan has been involved in creative activity since she was a
child growing up in Castleconnell, County Limerick. She studied
printmaking at the Limerick School of Art and Design and then moved to
Cork where she started painting. After a few years, Clare returned to
her home village where she now works full-time as an artist.
Hartigan came from a traditional background of painting having exhibited
and sold work from the age of 14. Through college she had the opportunity
to explore more contemporary ideas. Since then Hartigan has been combining the
traditional painting methods with contemporary ideas.
