Integrating theory and practice in public art, upcycling, and audience engagement, she aims to raise awareness about humanity’s connection to the planet. Collaborating with arts and culture institutions, businesses, and international enterprises, Claire creates large-scale sculptures and installations.

Claire has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, working with entities such as The Flight Centre Group, The Municipality of Sile, The Xian School of Art and Design, and several city councils and museums. Her projects encompass environmental public art installations, interactive fountains, and temporary artworks for festivals.Her ongoing research into waste and sustainability continues to drive her innovative approach to art and public engagement. Future projects include exploring biomimetic design for urban cooling solutions and participatory sound-based installations, pushing the boundaries of public art and its impact.
