Artwork by Daisy Clayton 3 Artworks

Daisy Clayton is an abstract artist based in Oxfordshire, whose work explores the emotional connection between art and viewer. Before establishing her career as a professional artist, Daisy earned a Master’s degree in Psychology from Queen Mary University of London. Her academic background continues to play a significant role in shaping her artistic practice, inspiring her exploration of how visual art can evoke deep emotional responses and create meaningful, personal experiences for those who engage with her work.

Working primarily with acrylics, collage, and gold leaf, Daisy creates richly textured compositions that balance calming tonal palettes with striking contrasts of colour. She is particularly drawn to building a sculptural quality within her paintings, using layered materials and surface texture to add depth and dimension.

Daisy’s landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes are often centred around a focal point of light, which acts as an anchor within the composition. Through the development of layered surfaces, she aims to evoke memory, atmosphere, and emotion, while allowing space for individual interpretation.

Her paintings have received significant critical acclaim from both the art establishment and fellow artists. Daisy’s work has been featured in prominent publications including The World of Interiors, GQ, and Vanity Fair, further establishing her as a distinctive and compelling voice in contemporary abstract art.
