About Lily Clare | British Wildlife Artist & Designer

Lily Clare is the artist and founder of Lily Clare Art & Design, creating original wildlife art, bespoke pet portraits and thoughtfully designed gifts that celebrate the beauty, personality and individuality of the natural world.

With a background in graphic design and over 20 years working in creative communications, Lily combines technical precision with an artist's eye for detail and composition. Every piece begins by hand using traditional materials, including watercolour, graphite and coloured pencil, capturing not only the likeness of her subjects but also the character and emotion that make each one unique.

Inspired by wildlife, beloved pets and the quiet moments found in nature, Lily's work ranges from expressive animal portraits to limited edition prints, greeting cards and artisan homeware. Whether it's a curious hare, an inquisitive puffin or a treasured family companion, each piece is created to tell a story and bring joy for years to come.

Creativity and kindness are the foundations the brand are built on. Those values are reflected in The Art of Giving - a commitment to supporting smaller animal charities through every purchase, ensuring each piece creates a positive impact beyond the artwork itself.

Every original painting, commission and product is designed with care, crafted to last and made to become a meaningful keepsake for animal lovers, collectors and thoughtful gift-givers alike.

Every artwork begins by hand. At Lily Clare Art & Design, all original paintings, illustrations and commissions are created using traditional artistic techniques. No AI-generated artwork is used in the creation of our products, ensuring every piece reflects genuine craftsmanship, creativity and individuality.
