I’m Claire Piper, a visual artist, illustrator and founder of Completed Studios, creating original and commissioned artwork for brands, retailers and organisations from first idea to final piece. I focus on bold, expressive visual work inspired by everyday life, nature and human experience. I collaborate with teams to develop bespoke, design led artwork that enhances spaces, supports brand identity and creates meaningful experiences for customers and communities. With a background in leading creative and community arts projects, I bring both artistic vision and practical delivery to every collaboration, whether that’s a retail environment, public space or organisational setting.
