Sculptors at 2015 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show: Clare Collins

"Bellagio Woman"
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Clare works in a style best described as abstract figurative sculpture. 

Clare works in clay, plaster and stone. Most of her limestone sculptures have been designed to enhance private gardens and are suitable for outdoor settings. 

“When chiseling in stone, I enjoy exploring the natural quality and limitations of the material while trying to transform it from a rigid block into a work of flowing movement and grace. I also like the interaction viewers have with my works - to feel the irresistibility to touch and embrace the smoothness of my work’s surface”.

Most of Clare’s unique works are inspired by the natural sensuality and curvature of the human figure. Clare likes to convey an evocative mood or emotion, typically found in the line and form of the female nude.

With a Fine Arts Honours Degree, University of Melbourne (1985), Clare has been a student at Bayside Sculpture since 2012, has completed a marble sculpture course in Carrara, Italy, 2013 and is a member of the Association of Sculptors of Victoria.
