About Clare
As the child of British parents, I grew up in Australia with a strong sense of history. We were a nomadic family – my parents had emigrated to Canada from England in the mid 1960’s, where I was born, returned to England and then emigrated to Australia in the early 1970’s (where my sister was born). My mother, a history teacher, and father, an economics professor, instilled in me a love of art, history, and literature.
