What Clients Say

"Claire is an incredibly gifted artist and illustrator. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her on creating illustrations for the cookbook Live Free, Eat Well by Adam Glick here at DK/Penguin Random House. The beautiful endpapers she designed and the ten chapter opening illustrations she created add such a beautiful element to the book which took it to the next level. I could not recommend working with Claire enough!"

~ Alexander Rigby, Executive Editor at DK Publishing
