HAPPY ART WITH CLAIRE MASSINGHAM

Claire has kindly donated:

A beautifully bright Inspiration Card and Critter
A Happiness Bank Book packed with incredible tips on how to invest in your Wellbeing

Happiness is close to Claire's heart and happy art came about from the love of making art that made her feel happy. She also quickly realised that her happy art also made others feel happy too.

Most of Claire's art is dot art because she loves how precise each dot is. She can place each dot exactly where she wants it and the colour comes out bold and even. Claire's work colleagues have a giggle at her saying they have never seen such creative organised artist!
