I have been working in non-profits since 2001, drawn to organizations with a passion for equity-led programs, at the intersection of arts, environment, and social justice. During my precious free time, I love to create art and handmade crafts. This site is for my artistic endeavors.
I welcome commissions and sales on items that are online. Please feel free to contact me directly at missclairem@gmail.com.
Projects currently on the site:
- Pet Portraits: I started out donating pet portraits for fundraiser auctions, and I realized that I love it! I would like to expand this part of my art-making, so if you’re interested in a commission, please contact me.
- The Bird Project: At the start of 2010, I resolved to draw a bird every single day for a year. I mostly succeeded. Sometimes I skipped a day and drew two the next day. Sometimes I skipped more days and drew more on a weekend. And then, sometime in mid-December, I got buried under the holiday stress and the impending excitement of imminent baby arrival (due in January 2011). I stopped just short of a full year, but 350 isn’t too shabby. All birds are available for sale, unless otherwise marked – $35 unframed, $45 framed)
My dream is to illustrate children’s books – someday!
Enjoy!
