Claire Kipnis has been in many juried shows in New Jersey and won several awards including a first place in the Monmouth County Art Council show of 1991. She has studied at the Palm Beach Workshops, International Center of Photography, Santa Fe Workshops, Brookdale Community College, and with notable instructors such as Jill Enfield, Shauna Church, Lois Guarino, Joyce Tenneson, Janet Newhatter, Isina Mirola, Stuart Thomas, and Adam Eidelbert.
Claire writes, “With my camera and my darkroom, I can express my feelings and emotional response to my surroundings as I see them. Reflections, flowers, and water in all forms are some of the things I particularly respond to. I like to have my images reveal something different each time they are viewed.”
