Claire Griffis

I am a landscape painter based out of Breckenridge, Colorado. I am most inspired by the landscapes of the Western United States, specifically the canyons of Utah and Arizona, and the mountains of Colorado and Idaho. My paintings are inspired by the time I have spent recreating outside and by the deep emotions of the human experience.

I am passionate about the magic of the mountains and my art is a reflection of that.

 

I paint because I need to, because these paintings push their way out of my soul and hands into the canvas before me. I paint because it is the most natural expression of the wilderness within me and because it is the best way I know to reflect on the experiences I have had in the wilderness around me.
