Clare Lacanau - Brisbane Artist & Fine Art Photographer.
Floral Artwork | Dancing Flowers | Wall Art | Photography | Embroidery Artist
Welcome to my tranquil creative corner of the art world.
My name is Clare Lacanau, a Brisbane based artist and fine art photographer.
I have spent the last ten years as a professional portrait photographer, specialising in newborn and family photography however have always had a passion for photographing flowers and movement. This leads us to today and why you may be here reading this little blurb about me 🙂 I have decided to pursue this passion and follow my creative inspirations, joining my love of botanicals, movement and my embroidery together to bring you beautiful art pieces that I hope will bring much joy to your lives.
I’m inspired to create gentle, soothing, joyful art work, featuring soft romantic flowers and botanical elements.
I use light as my paint brush, often with a soft pastel palette.
These art pieces are created using photographic, in-camera techniques, light and movement.
It is hoped that they bring a sense of calm and contentment, offering respite from the busyness and stresses of daily life.
Creating calming spaces and a gentle invitation to slow down, reflect, and just be in the moment, giving you an opportunity to appreciate the beauty within and around you.
I produce unapologetically feminine, original, collectable art pieces, on professional, archival quality, canvas and cotton fine art papers.
A select few works are embellished by hand with embroidery and finished with a paint medium which adds a texture and richness to the piece.
My art allows me to slow down and helps quieten my mind almost like a meditation and I hope by sharing these pieces I am able to share this with you.
I am a certified professional photographer with the Professional Photographers’ Association Queensland (PPAQ) and am located in North Brisbane.
As a mother of three beautiful children, I understand the importance of a calm and happy household!!
Choose art work that speaks to your heart, not just something that matches your curtains or upholstery.
These art pieces are made to last a lifetime and and will outlive any fad of today.
Please reach out if I can help you with anything, always happy to discuss options or help you search for what your looking for.
I might even be able to create a custom piece just for you (limited availability).
Looking forward to hearing from you.
