Montreal-based Claire Milbrath’s faux-naïf paintings feature recurring characters that serve as partial avatars for the artist, who uses them to process emotions like anxiety and boredom

Milbrath also creates drawings and textile works and since 2012 has served as editor in chief of Editorial Magazine.
