Claire Nelson is best known for her striking sculptures of figures, marine life and wood casts. Whilst representational, her work is driven by feelings and sensations, often resulting in highly evocative, emotional pieces. Deeply inspired by nature, a key theme is change, along with the power, beauty and delicate balance of man's inextricable bond with nature. Her work aims to capture the joy and magic at the heart of all natural things.

Growing up, Claire learned with her sculptor mother. Giving way to languages, then came an international career in Europe and Caribbean. Art reemerged, and she trained in mould-making and casting at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London. She now works out of her studio in Surrey.

With work in a royal collection and other private collections in UK, Italy, France, Australia, USA and China, her international art career spans two and half decades. Exhibitions throughout UK, Europe and China.
