Claire Woods
Claire Woods is an artist that was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest. Her art often depicts her feelings about our connection to the earth and the simplistic beautify of the outdoors. Growing up in a small Midwestern town, she spent her summers immersed in gardens, flowers, corn fields, stars, and lakes. She works predominantly in painting with watercolors and ink. Her love of art comes from hours spent working alongside her mother in the garden and father painting and hand-lettering. She immerses herself in the woods and emerges with colorful, vivid, creative designs.

Lily in Flux
I have always been a scavenger of sorts, constantly collecting even the most unassuming nostalgic treasures, ephemera, the things left behind, objects with history and stories from the past. I then reinvent and re-purpose those artifacts. I take vintage eyeglass lenses, skeleton keys, bullet casings, press blocks, typewriter keys, clock gears, pocket watch innards and the like & transform them into unique jewelry + accessories...i try to make something beautiful and exciting out of discarded bits of life. My paintings & collages reflect this need to salvage as well, mixing paper and paint, text and textures to create a story, a puzzle or simply evoke emotion.
