Claire experiences and processes the world creatively. Intensely curious and introspective, she engages with the world deeply, noticing details that many others simply pass by. Since she comes from a bookish family with cokebottle glasses, she rejoices in both the miracle of being ABLE to see, and the miracle of NATURE and CULTURE that she is able to see. As a result her work is full of gratitude, honoring both the spirit and the vitality of wild and working landscapes.
