Claire Klima maintains an independent studio practice examining the influence digital community access, rather than in-person, has on development and identity. The artist employs visual art and its display as a means to reconsider in-person communities and the infrastructure required to sustain them. Klima has experience in painting and drawing, but also installation work, didactic writing, grant applications, event planning, and advertisement. In their free time, they avidly volunteer time to local causes and support arts organizations and events.
