Claire grew up in rural Texas; a year of teaching in her hometown forced her to admit she wanted to be an actress. She studied at American Conservatory Theater and received an MFA from UT-Austin. During forty-plus years in professional theater, she has been an actress, director, and teacher primarily in Houston. In 2020, she moved back to her farm to teach and write remotely, while renovating a 170-year-old farmhouse where she lives with her cats.
