I create from the mess and the magick - art for the wild-hearted and quietly wondering.
Clare-Louise Battersby is a multidisciplinary professional artist whose work moves fluidly between drawing, mixed media, text, and textile. Her practice is rooted in curiosity, intuition, and a deep connection to the natural world. Rather than following a single aesthetic, she works concept-first, allowing the idea to determine the materials, whether paint, thread, fine art illustration, wax, or word.
Exploring themes of belonging, transformation, and the thresholds between seen and unseen worlds, her work acts as a conversation between art, land, and psyche. Each series becomes part of a wider ecology of experimentation, where process and play are central to discovery.
Rejecting the expectation of a uniform “style,” Clare-Louise’s practice celebrates multiplicity as authenticity. The contrasts in her work; from intricate, folklore inspired drawings and paintings to tactile, biophilic textile forms – mirror the complexity of human experience and the layered rhythms of the natural world.
Her pieces invite stillness, reflection, and connection. Together they form a visual language that transcends medium, honouring both the material and the message. The quiet power found in the spaces between ideas and creation.
Mosses, Mushrooms, Myths, and Memories
I’m an artist drawn to the ancient and the wild. I work with wax, textiles, wood, and pigment to create contemporary artworks inspired by folklore, biodiversity, and the regenerative rhythms of the land. My practice is shaped by mosses, mushrooms, myths, and memories. These are threads of the natural world stitched together with ritual, storytelling, and curiosity.
Connected Practice
My artistic practice is deeply aligned with the regenerative principles of Biophilia Design & Art—a creative studio I founded to help purpose-led brands root their identity in nature, calm, and connection.
While my own artwork explores material alchemy, myth, and landscape, Biophilia Design & Art supports others in shaping their visual and verbal presence through strategic, nature-connected design.
Together, these branches of my work speak to the same instinct: to reconnect the human experience with the intelligence of the wild.
