In 1994, he returned to this country, settling in East Anglia where he has easy access to some of his favourite painting locations.

Clare O’Leary
Clare O’Leary was born and grew up in the Far East. Her work is influenced by the immediacy of Bacon’s work, his fluid and active brush strokes, she is also drawn to the traditional genre of still life and landscape paintings of Seago and Sargent.
Her work is found in many private collections across the world with her clients being drawn to her through her use of colour and light. She has held individual and group exhibitions and one of her pieces formed part of the Dora Maar exhibition at Tate Modern.
