Born in Montreal, Quebec, she is known for her gestural expressionist paintings which have bright pastel colours.[2]
Career highlights
Desjardins worked for many years as a graphic designer and was ensconced in a life of technology and marketing. In 2011, she gave up a regular pay cheque to pursue her love of painting full time.[3]
Since then, U.S. retail chain, Urban Outfitters, has sold her original artwork under their Anthropologie banner, online as well as in their New York, Chicago, and Montreal stores.[4] Claire’s work has also appeared in televisions shows, and appeared in the Warner Brothers feature film, "Winter's Tale" (released in February 2014).[5]
