Claire Oxley is a British abstract painter based in Norwich, Norfolk. She studied at the Norwich School of Art and at the Universities of Lancaster and Oxford, reading Art and Music at Lancaster and Musicology at Oxford, before teaching for many years in Lancashire and Surrey and eventually returning to Norfolk. Music is central to her practice. Oxley has synaesthesia, a neurological condition in which the senses are cross-linked, so that stimuli such as letters or sounds can trigger the perception of particular colours, and her brushwork can be understood as a visual translation of music.
Her paintings are rooted in the landscape of East Anglia and her work is characterised by intense colour and rhythmic mark-making that chart the skies, seas, fields and flowers of the area. She exhibits regularly in Norfolk and Suffolk, in London and across the UK, and her work is held in private collections throughout Europe and elsewhere.
