Claire Lloyd was born in Australia, and moved to London in her early twenties after two and a half years as an art director at Australian Vogue. In London she was the art director for World of Interiors and the launch of the British edition of W Magazine, and from there built a stellar career in magazines, film, video, books and property. Her first book Sensual Living showed readers how to create a home that stimulates all the senses. She now lives in Greece with her partner and lots of animals, but travels regularly to Sydney and London where she owns yet more properties!
