Clare Doveton studied painting at Parsons School of Art and Design in New York City, where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. After years in New York, California and New Mexico, she moved her family and studio to the Midwest. Clare has served on the Board of Directors for the Kansas Zen Center, and decades of meditation practice play a key role in her work. She completed permaculture design certification through KPC as part of her continued interest and research of integrated systems and patterns in nature. Doveton was the Featured Artist for the Lawrence Arts Center Benefit Art Auction in 2015, and now also serves on their Board of Directors. She has been nominated for the Kansas City Collection, and selected for the Hunter Museum of American Art Spectrum Exhibition. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections worldwide.
