Here is the email request, the copy and image for my Artist CV sent as part of the promotional material to be used for the first ever International Printmaking Conference due to take place in Nicosia 22 - 24th November 2017 - very apprehensive and extremely surreal. 

CLARE WYATT – ARTIST CV

I have 25 years of teaching, printmaking, drawing and fine art practices in educational establishments and as a private tutor for community groups in the United Kingdom.

Drawing is a process of making parallels – of engaging in the world physically and emotionally – of casting your mind out and grabbing what you see. My practice is a combination of drawing and printmaking – using both digital and screenprint processes.

It investigates female Renaissance portraits through these processes and brings them into the contemporary arts arena.

The angelic female faces I select from paintings are meant not only as an homage to the original but also, when combined with digital patterns and drawn figurative forms, reinforce a sense of the contemporary ‘Madonna’. This offers an acknowledgement of the iconic and recognisable imagery of the past and is also a way for me to make my own contemporary female portrait, which is accessible to the modern viewer.
