Anna Clare is a sporting artist who specialises in large scale oil paintings of British game birds. After completing an art scholarship at Stowe School she continued her education at the Florentine atelier Charles H Cecil Studios where she spent a rigorous four years practising the naturalistic tradition of 'sight-size'. This classical training underpins the contemporary style that Anna Clare employs when painting large-scale birds in flight.
The complexity of catching the movement of a pair of hen harrier mid-flight, or the dramatic impact of a grouse flying towards you, provide a unique challenge for the artist. Anna Clare’s aim is to display the beauty and strength of these captivating birds. Unlike the more traditional styles, most of her works focus on the bird, rather than its habitat. Viewed at close quarters the impact of such a high level of detail combined with the motion of the bird is truly arresting.
Working mainly from her studio in Chelsea Studios Anna Clare undertakes commissions in oils and charcoal. Her London studio always has a selection of current work which can be viewed by private appointment.
