About two years ago I was invited to do a solo exhibition of my Singapore Landmark Art Collection at the Fullerton Hotel. This was a wonderful opportunity for me to present my mixed media fine art to a wider audience in an elegant and historic setting...

As an artist I am constantly meeting people who are keen on starting an art collection but are not sure where or how to start. I think one of the biggest misconceptions that people have about collecting art is that you have to be an expert in fine art and/or be rich to get started

In 2013 I went through a bit of a horse phase, which resulted in my Equestrian and Race Day collection. To this day I still have many people contacting me to inquire about acquiring one of the pieces either for themselves or as a gift for a friend or family member who loves horses. If you’re seeking a gift for a horse loving friend, these are some great options.

Reading Clare's blog "How to buy Art for Children' recently inspired me to pick up the subject and think about this from a Feng Shui perspective. I had already noticed the print of her Rooster painting when I visited her studio, and I loved the fact that Clare had painted that Rooster for her son.

One of the questions that first-time collectors frequently ask me is, “How do I know if I’m investing in the right art?” While there are no tried-and-true methods to ensure you are getting an amazing piece that will quadruple in value, there are a few things to consider before you make a purchase.

Being the cosmopolitan city-state that Singapore is, we have a great mix of worldly expats and locals living here among us. However, that also means that people tend to come and go, so from time to time we have to say goodbye to good friends, colleagues, and even family members.

There are so many venues around the city where you can take in contemporary artworks by local and international artists, and many of those places offer regularly changing exhibitions, workshops, art events, and even chances to meet with the artists themselves. These are a few of my favourite places in Singapore to get inspired

At Clare Haxby Studio we sell our prints as a Limited Edition, this means that once the edition quantity is sold then no more are produced. The prints are signed and feature the Clare Haxby Studio Seal for Authenticity as well as a unique edition number. This gives you the confidence that you are buying a special and unique art print.

This is a question that comes up quite a bit. At the Clare Haxby Studio we offer framed and unframed prints. For overseas orders, we can't ship a framed print due to their size and chance of an unfortunate accident, which with my experience of our local post, is more often than not!

Over the Christmas holiday I had a clients contact me and ask if I had any Art Prints relevant for Children, and it got me thinking about investing in Art for Kids.
