Biography

Claire attended Sheridan College, taking the Craft and Design Glass program where she discovered her passion for glass. She spent a number of years working for other artists, helping to create their work until she started her own practice in 2015. Over time, her series’ and ideas have evolved, however, they continue to revolve around themes of feminism and social justice. 

 

Claire has accumulated a wide range of knowledge over the span of her career. She has rented time in private glassblowing studios, travelled to artist residencies and helped to build two of her own furnace glass and torch studios. Currently, Claire is working out of Sheridan College as a TA and student mentor in the glass program where she continues to create her work.

Most recently, Claire has been creating larger works and installations that are more interactive with the viewer. While glass is still her primary obsession, she continues to experiment with different processes and materials to push her ideas and grow as a conceptual artist.
