Welcome to CSheehanArt

Claire with artwork

Textile artist, painter, illustrator and workshop facilitator exploring connection, place and community through slow making inspired by the Thames Estuary.

My work explores how creativity can help us notice place, connect with others and feel more grounded in everyday life. Through stitching, printed textiles, illustrated products and shared workshops, I invite people to slow down and engage with the inspiration that working with the inspiration of the ebb and flow I find around the Thames Estuary.

​

I love to create work that feels both warm, soothing and encouraging. I have created hand drawn illustrations and I take my gentle creativity through to slow, mindful and intuitive stitch.

​

Being based by the Thames Estuary between Southend on Sea and Leigh on Sea, I am blessed with beautiful estuary coastline and many local parks to inspire my work. Since beginning a Masters In Creative Practice in September 2025, I have been exploring how ebb and flow can inform both my art and my creative practice and process.
