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 22 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

Nina Simone.  Also, in her painting gallery!
