Clare Thorbes is a Yukon-born visual artist. She studied drawing and oil painting with Glenn Howarth, RCA. Clare completed her first large-scale narrative paintings at the Victoria College of Art and graduated with a Diploma in Fine Art in 2003.
Her first corporate sale of a major figurative painting came in 2009, following her move to Nova Scotia. Her home base is now in Ottawa, where she is focusing on narrative animal art, pet portraiture and landscape painting.
Her keen interest in all the arts led her to explore various musical instruments as well as singing and dancing. Clare’s background includes translation, book publishing, and editing.
