About the artist
Clare Burson
American
Clare Burson is an interdisciplinary artist whose work incorporates ceramics, textiles, found objects, and sound. She received her BA degree in History from Brown University and spent over a decade recording albums and touring internationally as a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter. Her last release, Silver And Ash, was featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, and on NPR. Burson expanded into visual art after the birth of her second child, studying ceramics at Greenwich House Pottery in New York City and Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, CO. She began working with textiles and found objects during Lockdown in 2020. In 2022, The Shirley Project Space in Brooklyn, NY presented Burson's first solo gallery exhibition, from some other time. She has since had individual pieces selected for juried shows at Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition, 440 Gallery, Underland Gallery, and Field Projects. In 2023, Burson co-curated the show, Unearthed at The Shirley Project Space and attended her first residency at Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts.
