CreativeMornings/BNE - Reverie with Claire Ritchie

Speaker: Claire Ritchie
Venue: Felons Barrel Hall
Photographer: Lyndal Carmichael

--

Claire Ritchie is an Australian artist known for handcrafted art that’s thoughtfully made and inspired by fun, nostalgic shapes and colours. Her use of pattern and saturated colour is inspired by the nature around her and by the wish to add something positive and uplifting to the world - whether that be as an original painting, wall hanging, art print, pillow, kitchen towel, accessory or greeting card.

Claire knows how important it is to feel good about the art you bring into your life. So she has made the unique commitment to produce on a small scale with a made-to-order model. This saves resources like fabric, ink, paper, shipping materials and labor. You could call it sustainability but Claire just calls it feel-good business. That’s why when she partners with other artists and companies, she chooses carefully to make sure our environment comes first.

Claire (@claire__ritchie) spoke to our morning people on the theme of #cmreverie at Felons Barrel Hall.
