MEET THE ARTIST
Claire Spencer – Pet, equine and wildlife artist
I am a largely self-taught artist, having always had a passion for drawing, painting and art in general, something I inherited from my dear Nanna. Having spent the last 20 years as a finance professional, I am very happy to have finally escaped corporate life, to focus on my artwork.
I am also a self-confessed animal nut, never happier than when in the company of animals, I currently have two dogs, a cat and a horse myself. When I’m not in the studio drawing or painting, I can generally be found walking the dogs or riding the horse, or just hanging out with them to be honest!
A keen studier of both canine and equine anatomy (I have an Equine Science degree), I believe having a sound understanding of an animal’s physiology, combined with a genuine love of animals, is what allows me to create artwork that is not only realistic, but captures the essence, the real character, of my subjects.
I am very lucky to live in the beautiful North Wessex Downs, where the farm animals and wildlife provide an unlimited source of additional inspiration for my artwork.
