CLAIRE MARIE BURDULIS, textile artist

Ever wonder if you're living the life of an artist? Come talk with Claire Marie Burdulis and find out how doodling in coloring books began her career as an artist. Through slides and dialogue, you will learn about how she started her journey as an artist from age seven! You will have an opportunity to visit Claire’s exhibition at Artspace and learn more about her current textile works.

Claire recently completed the Regional Emerging Artist Residency Program at Artspace. The program provides a NC-based artist with free studio space at Artspace for six months. At the close of the residency, the artist presents an exhibition of his or her work in the Artspace lobby.

Claire grew up in Chicago where, at a young age, she began to pursue and develop her artistic studies. She received her BFA in Fibers from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2003. Her fiber art has been exhibited in Kansas City, MO, and Chicago, IL. Recently, Claire has been featured in Surface Design Journal and Metro Magazine .
