About Annie Claflin

Annie Claflin is an artist living and working in San Diego, California who makes photographs, alters them, and creates photographic objects. Her creative practice provides sanctuary amidst psychological unrest arising from the main themes examined in her artwork: family, home, and their relationship to identity.

Her artwork has been published in Analog Forever Magazine and The Boston Globe and included in exhibitions at Chung 24 Gallery, The Griffin Museum of Photography, The Los Angeles Center of Photography, and The Whatcom Museum, among others. In 2023 and 2024, Claflin was included in the Critical Mass Top 200, and was a finalist in the Royal Photographic Society’s International Photographic Exhibition 165 in 2023. Her photograph was juried as third place award winner at the American Photographic Artists San Diego’s Untitled 2022 exhibition. One of her images placed as a finalist for The Kuala Lumpur Photo Awards in 2021. She was interviewed about her practice for The Boston Metro newspaper and the Too Tired Project online.
