About
Claire Hansen is a Maryland-born artist who creates photographic and video game based work in her studio in Brooklyn, NY. Since completing her BFA in Photography at the Pratt Institute for Art and Design in 2020, Hansen has been exhibited both domestically and internationally for exploring medium, memory, and emotional significance in an innovative way.
Hansen’s current project, “Places Between”, include tintypes borne from video games that challenge the artistic value of both independent and mainstream video games in a fine art context. Most recently in her career, Hansen was named a Semifinalist in The Print Center’s 99th ANNUAL International Competition for her video game based work and co-curated the group show, "Memory as Collage" at 14BC Gallery in New York, NY
