I am a professional wildlife artist specialising in highly realistic graphite and oil paintings..I am a published artist with over 50 limited edition prints available on the market to date.
Each original drawing is produced over many hours by a myriad of layers of graphite working with many differing grades of pencil.
Whilst i am known for my renditions of african big game and british animals my favourite subjects are the birds of the british isles,in particular the waterbirds and the behaviour i encounter in my local area the coast and marshes of the south of england.
i am a keen supporter of wildlife conservation causes and regularly donate limited edition prints to the born free foundation and secret world wildlife rescue to help raise money for these worthy causes.
my works have appeared at many prestigious locations throughout the uk and abroad on an annual basis.in 2010 i was a finalist in the David shepherd wildlife foundation wildlife artist of the year competition,two of my works were selected for display at The Mall Galleries in London where they recieved a highly commended award.Also in 2010 i was the overall winner of ‘Wildscape’ magazines wildlife artist of the year competition.my works are the result of many hours of study of my subjects in the field both in the uk and further afield.
works in progress can be viewed on my studio blog and my full collection of original art and limited edition prints can be seen at www.clivemeredithart.weebly.com
