"We're all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars" - Oscar Wilde
Come look at the stars with my gente
A note from Clare:
This website was born from a place of optimism. As I tried to find ways to use my voice and reclaim both my privacy and my ability to be the person to tell my story, I turned to movement, design, art, cooking, writing and I sought out ways to be reminded of my own membership to humanity by giving to children, the profoundly mentally ill, those aging gracefully (because this is how we all age, no matter what your plastic surgeon says) and those struggling in ways which I have not ever. This website is a clearinghouse of all the things I do, a triumphant song of survival, an attempt to put an end to speculation about what I value, and a way of giving back to the people who so stubbornly sang my song back to me when I was scared to whisper the words.
My philosophy is we should all be morally compelled to contribute, in a way which feels authentic to our souls, and if we collaborate with others with a spirit of mutual respect and love, our horizons are limitless. Believe in the worth of the individual, the honor of the dissenter, the pride of the worker, the healing force of movement, the beauty of the natural world, the essential nature of artists, the sanctity of collaboration and the transformative power of children.
