Born in Yorkshire, England, Clare Haxby moved to London to study a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking after completing her Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. She was awarded a travel scholarship to visit Venezuela and the Amazon Basin in Brasil which gave her an appetite for traveling and exploring other cultures.

“I have always been at my happiest when I am creating something and I find my inspiration through my environment, nature and by traveling to new places.”

Upon graduating, Clare sold a series of life drawings to The Victoria & Albert Museum and was then represented by Nigel Greenwood Gallery in London. She had a solo show in Brighton that revolved around her rainforest paintings and later set up her first business.

In 2007, Clare moved to Singapore with her family where she painted the iconic Raffles Hotel and many other large mixed media paintings of Singapore Landmarks. A huge demand grew for Clare’s paintings; her works found homes with ambassadors in Singapore, Dubai and inside The French Embassy of Singapore who purchased Clare’s Collection of Singapore Landmarks for their offices.

Clare is now based in the Surrey Hills just outside London where she continues to develop her collections, including London Landmarks of iconic buildings such as Kew Gardens, Fortnum & Mason and many more.
