Claire Kaveney is a multidisciplinary artist who investigates the body, queerness, and nostalgia in both 2D and 3D. Their paintings distort and rebuild perceptions of their own body and memories. Corporeal themes carry into Claire’s sculpture, where her use of organic forms create fleshlike constructions of digital devices reminiscent of the early 2000s. Claire’s toy-like sculptures and brightly colored expressive paintings reference the joy and simplicity of childhood and blend fiction into everyday reality.
Claire has lived in Montana for the majority of their life. They were born just outside of Livingston, grew up in Bozeman, and are currently based in Missoula. She received her B.F.A. from the University of Montana in 2025. When they aren’t making work, Claire enjoys working as a sewing machine technician, poorly playing pool, and catching crawdads.
