Then at the age of nine she moved to Dayton, Ohio where she stopped drawing for while. That, however, did not to last long because in high school a friend introduced Clair to Manga (Japanese comics) and from then on Art again controlled her life. In 2007 Clair enterd the University of Dayton's Art Department where she went from Graphic Design to Illustration, due to the illustrator Yuko Shimizu who Clair found in Sophomore year in an art magazine. On May 8, 2011 Clair graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts. Clair is now studying at the Academy of Art University where she will achieve her Master's in Illustration.
