FEATURED COLLECTION

HOME

This collection explores the evolving idea of home—not just as a place, but as a feeling tied to memory, connection, and belonging. Through soft landscapes and intimate moments, each painting reflects the quiet comfort and shifting meaning we find in the spaces we hold dear.

“Claire’s works create joy. Vibrant, unexpected color palettes, inventive use of negative space, and dreamy washes alongside whimsical applications of super-thick paint stoke the viewer’s imagination.”

- Dave Tirio (musician and visual artist)

    What my hands remember

    A reflection on how the body holds memory, and how making art can bring forward feelings and experiences the mind may have forgotten—through gesture, repetition, and quiet attention.
