Iris Clelford

Iris Clelford went to art school in Birmingham, but now lives and paints in Cornwall. Iris was taught to handle oils in the fashion of the old masters, and her love for the medium hasn’t diminished in 40 years.

Iris loves experimenting with new materials, including oils, acrylics and watercolours. At the moment metallic acrylic is a medium she adores; it helps to enhance her landscapes and portraits, which are full of light and reflection. Iris likes to affect the mood of her paintings with her brushwork, which changes depending on the picture’s subject.

Describing her work as ‘full of light, subtle colours, and showing subjects that sit easy on the eye’, Iris is inspired by the simple things around her. Her subjects range from the look on a persons face to the grace of a horse running free.
