The Muses

Braden Duncan (a.k.a. Clockwork Art) is a self-taught, full-time artist & curator living in Seattle, WA.

She is inspired by the intricate elegance created by the convergence of biological & mechanical elements, and her current bodies of work feature watercolour critters augmented with macabre, mechanical, fantastical, & pop culture accoutrement.

As our lives become increasingly mechanised & electronified, humans & animals must adapt to survive. Braden's pieces represent organic beings enhanced for their new roles in a bio-industrial reality. With watercolour & oil, Steampunk & circuitry, she aims to reshape the world with the strange & the adorable.

Braden is the co-founder of the Seattle Arts Coalition, a member of the international Strange Dreams Surreal Art Collective, and she regularly assists with curating & art installation for a number of galleries around the Northwest. She can usually be found covered in oil paint, watercolour, engine grease, and cat hair.

Braden's little black kitten, Diesel, is her constant companion & artistic muse. Ghost & Earl Grey are her newest studio assistants and make the occasional modelling cameo.
