Artist Claire Desjardins Top Wescover Finds

“Home is an extension of who we are, and we want it to reflect our values; it is a carefully curated reflection of the things we care about.” Claire Desjardins is a Canadian artist living and working in Gore, Quebec. Working primarily in painting, her formally driven work focuses on gesture and colour, emphasizing energetic, animated brush strokes and bold palettes. Her work is both highly abstract and highly personal, a dynamic expression of sentiments or reactions of which she is consciously unaware. She regularly exhibits her work in galleries and art fairs throughout North America. In addition, she frequently teaches painting workshops and has served as a jury member on several national art prizes. “This is a collection of pieces that inspire me in some way.”
