Claire Hey

an artistic lifestyle

As an artist I value being true to myself. Pushing boundaries constantly to unleash what’s hidden.

I have a fascination with layers. Peeling walls, revealing the history beneath. The stories of lives, distorted with dreams of the future.

I am here now. I capture this fleeting moment.
