Born and raised in Portland, Claire grew up surrounded by the natural beauty and striking landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. She developed a love of being outdoors and making art at a young age. Her affinity with the natural world provides a well of inspiration with its visual expressions of time and spirit. These interests led her to receive a BFA in Printmaking and a BA in History at the University of Oregon. Claire pursues her studio practice in Portland where she paints, draws, takes photos and creates intricate visual journals. She also practices calligraphy and illustration. Traveling, working in the field, and furthering her studies in history and art history continue to inspire her work. Claire's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout the USA and Canada.
Nature has always been a significant source of inspiration for her, but recently, her inspiration is increasingly tied to the landscapes of Oregon. As a part of this exploration, she has begun creating maps of Oregon that delve into the different ecological makeups of the state. Oregon contains a rich array of landscapes, which are diverse in color, form, and character. Different bodies of water in combination with geological history, and varying climates, cultivate a unique tapestry of plant life that define each region. This strong sense of place that a landscape creates extends to the people that inhabit it. Over time, familiar landscapes become embedded in our sense of home and belonging. With this piece, she would like to explore the ways in which we are connected to the particular regions we inhabit or call home. To what extent does the surrounding ecology define our unique sense of locality? How do our ties to a specific place shape our individual and collective identities? She hopes to draw people in closer to the landscapes that surround them and foster a deeper sense of presence with the places that make us who we are.
