Claire Drummond (b. 1993) is a painter and educator who recently completed her MFA in Painting and Drawing at NSCAD University. She previously completed an MA in Cultural Studies at McGill University specializing in representations of gender and performance in postwar film, and her background in cultural theory informs her preoccupation with the politics of representing the feminized figure.

She is the 2025 recipient of the Joseph Plaskett postgraduate award in painting, as well as a Research and Creation grant from Canada Council for the Arts (2025), the Judith Jane Leidl Graduate Fellowship (2023) and the Scotia Scholar’s Award from Research Nova Scotia (2022-2023). She recently participated in solo exhibitions at Modern Fuel Artist Run Centre in Kingston, ON (2024) and Anna Leonowens Gallery in Halifax, NS (2023), and will be mounting a forthcoming solo exhibition at Eltuek Arts Centre in Sydney, NS (2027). She has participated in group exhibitions at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, IL (2025), Gathering in London, UK (2024), Galerie Gardette in Paris, FR (2024), Art Mur in Montreal, QC (2023) and Chester Art Centre in Chester, NS (2023).
