She taught in New York City public schools for 9 years. Clare received her MFA in Painting from Yale School of Art. She holds a BFA in Studio Arrt and an MA in Art Education from New York University. She participated in the Art & Law Program, Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship, and apexart Travel Fellowship.
