CappARTcino
Meet Claire Cousins: a dynamic mom, artist, and former teacher who’s transformed her passion into two thriving ventures. From nurturing her artistic talent under her dad’s guidance to a 20-year teaching career where she spearheaded art coordination and led a vibrant after-school art club, Claire’s journey has been a colorful one.
In 2018, the stars aligned for Claire as CappARTcino came to life, marking her shift towards a lifelong passion. With a penchant for acrylics and mixed media, Claire’s unique touch includes a sprinkle of subtle sparkle, often through glitter or diamantés. Her canvas mostly comes alive with animals, where she’s mastered the art of capturing their very essence.
Swing by for a warm hello and keep an eye out for upcoming workshops. Both adults and children can look forward to nurturing and relaxed classes amidst the tranquil Hainault Forest Country Park surroundings.
