About the Artist
Alas, not a cat. Though Jiji (pictured) is lovely.
Since 2020, Claire has committed to teaching herself how to illustrate professionally.
She has cultivated a small following by selling hundreds of designs online on RedBubble, promoting her work on social media, and fulfilling private commissions.
Claire consistently challenges herself to expand her creative horizons, connecting with all kinds of clients. Presently, on top of working at The Colony full-time, she is working on an original sci-fi comic book and teaching herself how to animate in 2D by hand.
