Claude Carter has been painting professionally since 2005. His wife Andrea Pindan, also an artist, introduced Claude to the artform and taught him about mixing colours. Both Andrea and Claude have a strong graphic quality to their work.
Claude often talks about Aboriginal concepts in kartiya [European] terms and refers to his culture and painting in a way that we can make sense of and feel. Claude really loves to paint and gains a lot of satisfaction from it. Painting helps him to clarify and distil his thoughts about his country and the places he paints. He feels the land and culture through his stomach and heart and conveys these painted emotional spiritual responses to the viewer.
