Annie Claflin (American, b. 1978) is a lens-based artist living in San Diego, California. Her artwork weighs the complexities of traditional family roles, the paradox of home as both solace and isolation, and their interwoven relationships with her own likeness. Fusing her observations and imaginings, Claflin engages imagery, handwritten text, collage and familiar objects to convey the intricacies of her relentless search for sanctuary amidst psychological unrest.
Claflin’s artwork has been published in Analog Forever Magazine and included in exhibitions at The Griffin Museum of Photography and The Los Angeles Center of Photography, among others. In 2023, Claflin was named a finalist in Critical Mass and The Royal Photographic Society's International Photography Exhibition 165. She was third place award winner at the American Photographic Artist San Diego’s "Untitled 2022" exhibition and one of her images was placed as a finalist for The Kuala Lumpur Photo Awards in 2021. She graduated from New England School of Photography, holds a BFA in Photography from Massachusetts College of Art + Design and an MS in Arts Administration from Boston University.
