Claire is a multidisciplinary artist who inspects the relationship between human bodies and their environment, especially as it relates to queer identity and the fractured reality of our digital age. Through her artistic process, she pushes the boundaries of her internal, external, digital, and temporal realities. Artmaking itself allows Claire to both inhabit and recreate their body, memory, and environment. Claire’s fleshlike constructions of the human body, its surroundings, and digital devices in bright colors and expressive textures reference the genderfree lightheartedness of childhood and the simple beauties of everyday life. Her current body of work is both joyful and nostalgic. 

Claire is a born and raised Montanan. Born just outside of Livingston, raised in Bozeman, and currently based out of Missoula. They are currently completing a Post-Baccalaureate program in oil painting at the University of Montana and are resident at Wildfire Ceramics Studio. When Claire isn’t making art, she enjoys working as a sewing machine technician, playing pool, and walking by the river to try to see her local beavers or herons. She received her B.F.A. from the University of Montana in 2025, graduating magna cum laude and as a member of the Dean’s list.
