| I love to take something as hard and unmovable as steel and mold it into something that has fluidity and dynamic life. I believe in making artwork that is flowing with movement and excitement so that it gives energy back to a room instead of just taking up space. I use both modern and classical metal working techniques to create truly one of a kind sculptures that reveal both the natural and varied looks of steel. |

Historic Lindenwood Farm was built about 1850 and is surrounded by Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve. Past the red bank barn and behind the old farmhouse is Claire's Studio; once an old chicken coop that is now enveloped in flower and vegetable gardens. Much of her artwork captures her love for Maryland's rural countryside and Delaware's peaceful seashore as well as her delightful resident sheep, labradors, and cows. In addition to original oil paintings, the studio is filled with her popular prints and cards. The Studio is open by appointment year round, although we will be closed for the Spring Countryside Artisans Tour. Please visit Damion Hunter, our talented jewelry designer, at Alden Farms where she will be presenting her beautiful Spring collection. A sampling of Claire's prints and cards will also be at wonderful and enjoyable Alden Farms! |
