Biography
- Claire Gilliam
- I was born on the south coast of England in 1975 and grew up in the suburbs of South East London. After gaining my Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University (specializing in photographic and print based media), I threw caution to the wind and flew to Maine, USA where I started what I consider to be the rest of my life! My deep love of photography began that year of 1999 at what is now called the Maine Media Workshops, studying at first with Arno Minkkinnen, and Elizabeth Opalenik and then with the great faculty of the Professional Certificate Program. For the last few years, I have participated in the "Independent Project Seminar" at ICP in New York City with master printer Chuck Kelton, developing four bodies of work including my most recent, ongoing portfolio "This Is You, This Is Me". My work has been shown in the UK, Portugal, Spain and the USA, most recently in the ICP group exhibition "Clues To Identity" curated by Chuck Kelton, at Pen & Brush in NYC, and in F-Stop Magazine ("All About Me" Issue 46). I live in Warwick, NY with my husband, Eugene Lynch and two dogs, Madison and Marshall.
