Claire Hashman

Claire is an Australian-born, New York-based surrealist artist. Born in Canberra to migrant parents from India and England, she grew up immersed in art and travel before becoming a Sydney construction and real estate lawyer specialising in sustainability. 

After starting a Master of Art at UNSW in 2018, she moved to New York in 2019 where she honed her skills at the Art Students League. She did not exhibit her work until 2022 at the National Arts Club, and was featured in Forbes Magazine’s review of the show. 

In 2023, Claire expanded into wearable art, launching Hashman Bites, jewellery and sculptures made from upcycled teeth aligners. Her work is currently shown at exhibitions across New York, at her Soho studio, and at Maison 10. She also continues to practice law in NYC. She has a home on Scotland Island.
