Claire Wiltsher

Evocative paintings of land and see that show a sense of place. 

Claire Wiltsher rose swiftly to prominence as one of Britain’s most sought-after landscape artists, turning her passion into a full-time practice as demand for her work flourished.

Works are often created on square canvases, a format she believes brings harmony and equilibrium to each composition. Layers of texture, shifting light and a touch of ambiguity define her semi-abstract style, while accompanying poems offer an added dimension, giving viewers a glimpse into the thoughts and emotions behind the work.

"Total recognition inhibits the imagination."

Celebrated across the country, Wiltsher’s art has earned prestigious recognition. Her forest landscape Winter Snowstorm received the Rosemary & Co. Award from the Society of Women Artists in 2020, and in 2011 two of her forest scenes were chosen for the House of Lords’ permanent collection. These works now hang in the public areas and committee rooms of Millbank House, where they continue to inspire and engage all who encounter them.
