Former board member and current member of the Mosaic Society of Philadelphia, and head of the Education Committee
Claire has a background in education and great deal of experience working as an artist in residence to create large-scale installations. These days, she enjoys mostly working from her home studio. Her mosaic style varies depending on what she’s making, and she loves bright colors and a little bit of whimsy. One of her favorite pieces is a 3D indented orb entitled “Loss”. She feels it is technically well executed and conveys the exact emotion intended. Her current mosaic project is a series of faces inspired by her contour drawings of real people.
Claire is mindful of her students' learning styles and aims to provide clear instructions and a learning atmosphere of inclusion, connection, and support. She encourages exploration, independence, and self-growth. She teaches two classes at Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia. Mosaics 101 is for beginners and those who want to visit or revisit the basics. Independent study classes are for students to bring projects and Claire supports their goals while teaching mini-lessons as topics arise. Feedback from her students is always positive. She is also available for private or semi-private lessons at her studio.
