Clare Ramsey has worked in the film and television industry for many years. She works in all areas of make-up and has a particular passion for prosthetic make-up artistry.

Her varied career has taken her all over the world to work on shows such as Harry Potter, James Bond, Game of Thrones, The Hobbit, and Ash v Evil Dead.

The popularity of fantasy blockbusters and sci-fi television has made the call for prosthetic artists a staple requirement in the majority of film crews. Prosthetic make-up has the ability to transform actors into unique, one-of-a-kind characters who take us into the realms of impossibility, limited only by the artist's imagination. Yet it can also be used in more subtle ways to alter physical appearance and create ageing, weight gain or illness, useful for a variety of genres and entertainment mediums.
