I live and work in Stromness; the second biggest town in the Orkney Islands.
My work is very much influenced by my surroundings and I love anything with character especially places that have a story to tell.
I grew up on Stronsay a small island of around 350 inhabitants - it was an amazing place to live, it was exposed to the elements and there was nothing I loved more than to watch the sea on a wild day.
The school was a Primary and Secondary School combined with around 60 pupils, several of the teachers had to fly out from the Mainland each day - the Art, Music, PE and French teachers for example, Art was only 1 hour a week and I loved it!
When I left school I did a Care College Course and then qualified as a Hairdresser which I did until I had my 3 children, then as a stay at home mum I started doing more art.
Now I have a small giftshop that I share with another artist Jeanne Bouza Rose which is run with the help of my best friend Elaine. I'm finding more balance in life after a very busy 20 years raising children and caring for in laws, this is me starting to find a bit more of 'me' time and doing things I love.
I hope you enjoy my artwork, thanks very much for taking the time to have a look - it means a lot, Claire x

Brilliant piece of work. This is the second pic that I’ve bought. Claire is such a talented artist and her portrayals of Orkney are wonderful.

This is my third Claire Kirkpatrick print. I am delighted with it. Her art really is joyful and looking at her beautiful prints brings back so many special memories of my visit to Orkney. The ordering process was very simple and the prints arrived to Canada very quickly and were well packaged.
