About

My latest series of work is Havoc, exploring gender dynamics and sexuality in American life. The pervasive struggle for equity is dominated by opposing forces of discrimination. These objects embrace these constant conflicts in our work and domestic environments, often through the symbolism of the everyday.

A founding member of The Front, an artist collective and gallery space in New Orleans, Claire Rau was born in Sandusky, Ohio and raised in northeast Tennessee.  Working in both printmaking and sculpture, she completed her graduate work at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and presently teaches foundations at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.  Her work engages with objects, straddling politics, sexuality, and terrain. Recent shows include Living Arts in Tulsa, the Morris Graves Museum of Art, MASS Gallery, and Vox Populi.
