Biography

Claire Dinsmore is a designer who has turned her hand to jewelry, interiors, and Web sites. In 1989, Dinsmore underwent an operation for a brain tumor, and lost fine motor skills on the right side of her body. She retrained her right hand and used her work as therapy to regain physical and emotional independence. She describes her work since then as “spiritual and inward.”
