Claire is a self-taught painter who lives and works in East of France. Since 1989 she has been traveling and working between France and the United States.  She had her first solo show in 1999 in New York City.  In 2004 her work was represented and exhibited at the Grant Gallery in Soho. In 2005 she left for Mexico, where she maintained a studio for three months in Oaxaca. From 2005 to 2010, her work was represented and exhibited by the Opera Gallery in New York City and Miami. During those years she regularly painted large format in New York. Since 2010 her work has been exhibited in Paris, Brussels, Luxembourg, Metz..
