"A live, illustrated record of conferences, debates, meetings and events."

Claire works both with a team of artists and individually to create Visual Minutes. The minutes unfold live during the actual event and the information is brought to life with illustrations and colour. Claire was trained by Tim Casswell of Creative Connection in 2007. This Visual Minutes team were artists in residence at the Southbank Centre practising and developing their Visual Minutes skills from June 2008 - July 2009.

In June 2008 Claire went to Aruba in the Dutch Caribbean as a Creative Connections artist to take Visual Minutes at a conference regarding the future sustainable development of the island, and to run workshops training local artists in the art form. During December 2009 - January 2010, Claire was an artist in residence in India taking visual minutes for Tata Jagriti Yatra. This involved living on a train for 18 days on a journey round India which inspires young Indian people to become social entrepreneurs.
