So you want to know about me?

Let's start with the basics: my name is Clare and I live in Dallas. Here are a few random facts that might help you understand who I am...

- Received my BA in Art from Rhodes College but begged them to say "Art History" for my parents' benefit when I graduated. No dice.

- Wrote my senior thesis on this painting during my junior year while everyone else was in Florida on Spring Break. 11 years later and I'm still bitter.

- Interned at a small gallery where I was privileged enough to have works by Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans and Lewis Hine at my fingertips. Got valuable first hand experience on how to deal with a certain shipping service when they destroyed a rare painting in transit to another gallery.

- Would give anything for the chance to be a concert photographer for a summer or twelve.

To the same old place – Sweet Home Chicago!

I think if I didn’t vividly remember how cold it was the last time I was there in the winter, I could definitely live in Chicago. But until I grow thicker skin or global warming really kicks in, visits during the warmer months will have to suffice. Here are a few photos from this past weekend. There was a Celtic Festival going on near where we ate brunch on Sunday (thumbs up to Gage, by the way) so we decided to check it out before I had to catch my flight out of O’Hare.
