After studying art and taking courses at the New York Institute of Photography, Claire ended up with a degree in Information Technology and spent 25 years designing and developing software systems for New York City financial Institutions. She retired from her career in 2010, and having always loved the beauty and wonder of the night skies, purchased a Celestron telescope and headed west for some serious stargazing. Wanting to share it all, in 2016 she purchased a Canon Rebel T6i camera and a 24mm lens and began shooting astro landscapes and celestial events.

Although she will always love the night skies, in 2019 a new passion took hold; photographing both the grand views and intimate landscapes of the earth. A self-professed introvert, Claire gravitates toward the woods, fields, mountains, and waterways to capture her moods, but anything very colorful or otherwise eye-catching can become a subject. She shoots exclusively with Canon gear and is a 2023 graduate of the New York Institute of Photography with a certificate in Digital Photography.

Living in rural Northeast Pennsylvania, Claire belongs to the Wayne County Arts Alliance, the Delaware Highlands Conservancy, and the Pocono Heritage Land Trust and her photos have both won and placed in juried contests and have been exhibited in local galleries.
