Clare is a wildlife and pet portrait artist based in Hertfordshire, working predominantly in pastel.
Clare graduated in 2008 with a degree in Fine Art, and then went on to work at Madame Tussauds as a wax figure painter. It was whilst working here that she discovered her love of realism and detail.
Clare has always had a passion for wildlife and art, and loves being able to capture the little individual quirks and personality of each animal, drawing your eye in to characteristics which might sometimes be overlooked.
She finds pastel pencils work well to achieve a high level of detail, with many delicate layers going into each portrait.
Clare has exhibited at the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation ‘Wildlife Artist of the Year’ exhibition for the past four years, and with The Federation of British Artists as part of their 60th anniversary figurative art exhibition. She is also a member of The Society of Animal Artists.”
Secondary poisoning, trade and persecution are estimated to have caused very rapid population declines in South Africa (listed as EN in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland ;and Namibia; Simmons 2015; Taylor and Kemp 2015) and there are anecdotal reports that they have caused declines in other range countries. There is a high probability that such threats and subsequent declines will continue into the future, and as such this qualifies as Vulnerable. In addition, the species’ life history strategy (long-lived, slow-breeding) puts the species under greater possible threat of declines. More accurate trend data may become available in the near future and so further reassessment may be required in the future.
