Hello! I'm Claire, an illustrator, designer, and story teller inspired by the surreal, intricate beauty of nature. Between 2012 and 2020, I worked in Glacier National Park, North Cascades National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, the redwoods of northern California, and Oregon. I worked as everything from a housekeeper to park ranger, and everywhere I went, my sketchbook came along. The biodiverse landscapes I explored, and self-discovery I experienced made me the artist I am today. In 2018, I created Grand Canyon National Park's official centennial poster series.

Since then, I've worked with clients ranging from environmental education centers to oyster farms. My other creative endeavors include writing and illustrating a Young Adult novel reimagining Thumbelina, and making mushroom-inspired ceramic sculptures. When I'm not making art, I love hiking, gardening, and baking ugly cakes. I live in Brunswick, Maine.

About Patreon

I launched my Patreon in 2018, when I had the opportunity to make 8 centennial posters for my off-an-on-again home, Grand Canyon National Park. Patreon made it possible for me to buy art supplies out of pocket while volunteering for 4 months. See what Patrons made possible here!

Patreon is a way to support my work while getting goodies and behind-the-scenes access. You'll get exclusive coloring pages, videos, discounts to my online stores, and a lot more! Patrons can also receive a whole manner of exclusive merch in the mail, like stickers, prints, and original sketches.

Thank you so much for your support! Your generosity makes my work possible.
