Notes to editors
“I love animals. I love nature. Everything I paint stems from these two facts.”
Clare Shaughnessy, has been a professional wildlife artist for over 20 years, she paints animals in their quieter or more playful moments using layers of paint to give a feeling of softness and depth.
Her particular skills associate a strong sense of aesthetic with an encyclopedic knowledge of animals and birds. She links this with a perfect study of their anatomies and as a result, complete authenticity to her work.
Clare has exhibited many times with the Society of Wildlife Artists and every year since 1990 at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art. She is particularly excited about being approached by the new art society AnimaleARTh asking her to appear in their 2010 exhibition.
