Claire Arnold

Claire Arnold, a resident of Mull since 2018, was irresistibly drawn to the island's captivating landscapes, tranquil ambiance, and close-knit community. Her professional journey has predominantly been rooted in the field of marketing, yet her enduring fascination with design and the creative process has traversed diverse realms, including advertising graphics, art, sculpture, and various visual arts.

In her artistic pursuits, Claire has discovered a particular affinity for working with wood, relishing the process of adorning it with her creative vision. She has honed her skills in pyrography, a technique that involves the artful decoration of wood through the controlled application of heated metallic points to create intricate designs.

Nature serves as her muse, and in her pyrography endeavours, Claire has found an exquisite intersection with the avian world. With a profound connection between birds and trees, she has embraced them as ideal subjects for her pyrographic expressions on wood, capturing the profound harmony between these natural elements.
