Claire creates distinctive Verre Églomisé artworks using picture glass offcuts and gold leaf sourced from her work as a professional picture framer and frame restorer. Her framing studio is based in Stone, Gloucestershire.

Art has been central to Claire’s life from an early age. As a teenager, she won several art competitions before completing GCSE and A Level Art, followed by an Art and Design Foundation Diploma and a Degree in Fashion Design technology.

Raised in rural Gloucestershire, Claire developed a lasting connection to the natural world. The flowing forms, organic textures and unexpected details found in nature continue to inspire her, providing rich and unusual subjects that she captures in luminous gold leaf.

Claire appeared on Kirstie's Handmade Christmas in 2019, producing a large eglomise piece specifically for the show.

Claire became a full member of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers in 2018, the Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers Society of Washington DC in 2020, Miniature Art Society of Florida in 2017 and the Hilliard Society in 2025. Claire regularly exhibits in the USA and UK in local art festivals and exhibitions including, the RWA (Bristol), Bath Society of Artists and Broadway Arts Festival (Worcestershire).
