about the artist

Claire Lefebvre

For more than twenty years, I’ve been walking a creative path shaped by stories and Nature. A path where ancient myths feel alive and pulse beneath the surface of modern life. These stories are not just tales to be told; they are companions, teachers, and gateways into deeper creative and spiritual connection.

My latest suite of large paintings was born from this long journey. Each one is a retelling, a reimagining of a myth or story that has spoken to me deeply: the Selkie who remembers her wild self, the Handless Maiden’s spiral of healing and Circe’s fierce power, supported by the Natural world surrounding her… These works aren’t just paintings. They’re objects of slow magic, crafted with intention and layered with meaning (made to live with you for years). They invite slow looking, reflection, and a kind of conversation with the living world and your own creative spirit.

My recurring Tiny Talisman artworks are made as small painted offerings of inspiration, protection and attunement. They can be placed on your wall or taken with you when you need them. All are tiny fragments of my larger works, with the stories, objects and essences of these paintings carried in their tiny pigment.
