Clive Kay was born and raised on a 4,000 acre farm in Zimbabwe. He did his first painting in 1964. In 1975 he moved to Canada and soon had the opportunity to meet and spend time with artist Robert Bateman. Clive vividly remembers two private sessions with Bateman in his Ontario home. His advice proved invaluable years later. He has done a number of special commission paintings over the years, but by far "The Biggest One" was the inaugural painting the Walt Disney company commissioned for the opening of the Animal Kingdom in April 1998. |
