Hi! I’m Claire.
I am a multimedia artist based in Salt Lake City, UT. For me, art has always been more about the process than the product. Understanding the emotions for a project is always where I start, because that’s where connection with the audience comes from! I love discovering new ways to create. Rather than limiting myself to one medium, I enjoy fostering a wide set of skills so I can choose the right medium to evoke the desired emotion.
Exploring my queerness, disability, and my relationship to nature is a large part of my art. I would love to work on more projects that focus on the queer and disabled perspectives and encourage people to protect their local ecosystems.
I have a degree in Writing and my professional background is in language curriculum development, media production, and graphic design. My work has allowed me to travel and communicate across cultural barriers. Bringing people together is always my priority.
I am firmly anti-AI. I will never use it in my artwork and I will never consent to my work being fed into AI models.
I am usually making art with any free moment I have. But beyond that, I cherish time with my beautiful wife and our sweet dog. We love to read, explore new music, learn about LGBTQ+ history, and bird (we will always have a pair of binoculars within arm’s reach).
Get in contact!
I’d love to hear from you! Let me know what projects you’re looking for help with and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
