Claire works as a painter, poet, and writer, she also plays music, and these art forms have preoccupied her all her life, and have overlapped, informing each other in her work. Claire has variously been a teacher, community artist and, now, counsellor. She has a strong belief in humanity and humanitarian causes, and in the relationship between nature and humanity her visual art often draws inspiration from nature and the English landscape. Much of her writing reflects this. She has worked as a painter and community artist, exhibiting her artwork locally in regions like Norfolk and Suffolk She often publishes or registers her work under variations of her name, including Claire Hamburger and Ms Claire Miranda Hamburger.
