Claire Morgan (b.1980) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, drawing, writing, printmaking and installation.

She explores the complex, often dysfunctional relationships between humans and other species, addressing trauma, grief, memory, and the powerful transformative potential that exists in vulnerability.

Morgan was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Sculptors in 2024. She was awarded a Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant in 2022, and the 12th Fondation Guerlain Drawing Prize in 2019. Works are in collections worldwide including Centre Georges Pompidou, Fondation Guerlain, and MONA.
