Claudia’s previous series exhibited at Art Atrium, Obscuriosity, draws on a personal cabinet of curiosities – childhood memories and the intrigue of the obscure. Her earlier series, Poster Boy, was presented in 2012 at Art Atrium and was part of the 2016 Head On Photo Festival. Group shows include Integration Exchange at the China Cultural Centre in 2017, and Transcendence at Art Atrium in 2018.

She is well known for her role as co-host and presenter on ABC TV’s popular program, Collectors. Her subsequent book Collectomania: From objects of desire to magnificent obsession, navigates the world of collectors and celebrates collections both strange and beautiful.

She hosts an interview program, The Dialogue, on 89.7fm Eastside Radio with an emphasis on the arts and design.

Claudia is a cultural tour leader for the Art Gallery Society World Art Tours, focusing on Art Deco, design, and contemporary art and has led tours to different parts of the world.
