Claire Beauchamp was born in Cincinnati, grew up with one foot on a bison farm in Kansas, and has since transplanted to New Orleans, Louisiana. She was part of the Tulane University Glass Studio where her interest in materiality and construction technique pulled her into an installation-based practice that often references mental health. In New Orleans Beauchamp has shown work at the Carroll Gallery, Parse Gallery and Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center, among others. Beauchamp was the recipient of a Juror’s Choice Award in Tulane University’s 2015 undergraduate juried exhibition and the Alberta "Rusty" Collier Award for Outstanding Studio Art Major in 3-Dimensional Work.
