About Daisy

 

Daisy Clayton (b.1993) is an abstract artist and Soho House creative mentor from Oxfordshire.

 

 

Before pursuing her art professionally in 2019, she graduated from Queen Mary University London with a Masters Degree in psychology. Using her background in psychology, she built upon her previous skills as a painter by focusing her interest on how a painting can make someone feel and the emotions it may evoke.

​

Daisy uses acrylics, texture, collage and gold leaf to depict a balance of calming tones and contrasting colours. Inspired by light, nature, skylines and the changing seasons, Daisy is interested in how something can be re-represented in an abstract form. She develops layers of texture and colour as she centres her work around a point of light, often for dramatic effect. Daisy aims to create a sense of calm and peace in the viewer whilst inducing memories and providing room for unique interpretation. 

 

Daisy's paintings are traded through Buckingham Fine Art publishers and are listed in galleries across the UK.  Daisy's paintings have featured in The World of InteriorsGQ magazine and Vanity Fair.
