Claire believes that creative outlets offer opportunities for empowerment and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. She loves being part of the Art for All community, where she can collaborate with and support others on their creative journeys. She especially enjoys working with tactile materials and has been known to save treasures others might consider trash, as she loves the challenge of repurposing and giving objects new life. 

Claire completed the visual art program at The Evergreen State College and is currently pursuing her Master’s in Social Work through Eastern Washington University. She would like to continue using creative expression and advocacy wherever her social work path takes her. 

Claire finds happiness and inspiration in nature, and you can find her exploring tidepools with her family or photographing plants.
