About
Claire is an identical twin, mom of 3, wife,
and artist! She grew up in Alabama
and obtained degrees in Interior Design and a Master's in Art Education.
Claire's art studies abroad in Italy in 1994 intensely influenced
her personally and artistically in painting and photography.
After 30 years of being on both sides of the camera
shooting and art modeling,
Claire has developed a strong eye for
design and composition that tremendously
benefit her work.
For over 20 years, Claire has taught
painting here in the states
as well as part time
in Tuscany with her twin sister Carole Foret.
They have taken groups to beautiful
Cortona, Italy for painting workshops.
"Teaching is the most rewarding
work I’ve done, and I long to continue that path."
More recently, she's enjoyed work with art directors
and set designers for paintings in TV and film in Chicago.
Check out the show Empire with 20th Century Fox
to see her huge painting of jazz artist
Nina Simone. Also, in her painting gallery!
Claire works by COMMISSION!
