So happy my dung-beetle drawing (Going Uphill) has gone to its forever home near Kruger.

Thanks to my son-in-law, Compton, my website is now back up and running at my old domain: clarevanartist.com with some nice improvements in layout. Thanks Mark for all your help! Much appreciated!

I have a number of wildlife drawings on SALE at the moment, some framed and some not. Do let me know if you would like to order any. Prices exclude packaging and postage.

Specializing in photo-realistic Wildlife and Pet Portraiture, Clare Van Daele captures the intricate details of nature through pencil art. Based in the KZN Midlands.

Apologies if anyone has visited my website recently and found it unreachable. I am in the process of moving away from Wix (due to a huge increase in their tariffs) but it can still be reached on: https://clarevanartist.wixsite.com/my-site . I will let you all know once my old domain name (clarevanartist.com) is up and running again. Huge thanks to my son-in-law, Mark Compton who is helping me manage the transition.

Looking for wildlife art or a drawing of your favourite pet? Artist, Clare Van Daele would love to hear from you. I take pride in bringing my subjects alive with great attention to the intricate detail that goes into any bird or animal drawing. Graphite or colour pencil are my preferred media.
