Clothylde was born and grew up in the South of France. Drawn to art from an early age, she became a full-time artist in 2004. Living on the northern edge of North Yorkshire, she is inspired by the rich variety of its landscapes, and still exhibits exclusively in the Yorkshire area. Some of her paintings are in private collections in Australia, Canada, France and the US, as well as in the UK.

Clothylde’s artwork focuses on landscapes in North Yorkshire, whether the open and empty stretches of Moors or the crowded semi-symbiotic relationship of cottages and sea on the coast. Most of her work is in oils on canvas, but she also loves watercolour and pastel. Inspired in practice by her experience of stained glass, whereby colours are contained within boundaries, and conceptually by Paul Klee’s notion of “taking a line for a walk”, these landscapes are personal and stylised interpretations, evolved from quick sketches outdoors and elaborated in her studio.
