Born in 1968 (nee Brannigan) in London, in the middle of seven children, Clare was educated at Notre Dame and St.Pauls before finishing her schooling in Southport in the 1980’s.  After her ‘A’ Levels Clare attended the Universite du Maine at Le Mans, France and there began her great love of European culture and art.  In her pursuance for a ‘career which incorporated travel  and ‘character building’ experiences, Clare chose to study Nautical Science in the north east and qualified as a Navigation Officer as Esso Internationals first female officer, and then subsequently BP Shipping.  Her career continued shoreside as Liverpool Docks first female dockmaster, radar officer and berth manager before finishing in 2003. Clare’s ‘splash’ back into the artworld does not surprise those who know her as her artistic talent has been evident from a young child and as her artwork displays her designs are vibrant , enthusiastic and original.  Clare is also the niece of the renowned equestrian artist Desmond Tallon.

Zenithart is now a family run business due its continuing expansion into  europe and asia . 

Our expansion success is due to  Clare's  flair for contemporary use of colour, texture and the themes she focuses on.  Her growing popularity has carried her reputation far afield  and her work now compliments homes  of the rich and famous  from London to Marbella. Clare’s art is now sought after by individuals and designers alike who choose Clare’s innovative canvasses and metal art  to create  or simply compliment a room setting. Clare also undertakes specific commissions ranging from canvas work to wall murals and hand painted furniture.
