In 2009, Bridge has won both the People's Choice Award and the Living Art Award for the Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize.  With her portrait "If looks could kill", she is a finalist in the 2009 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize for the second year running. A banner of her work currently hangs outside the State Library of NSW promoting the exhibition.

Claire will be holding her first solo exhibition with Flinders Lane Gallery in September 2010 and will also be showing in the group exhibition FRESH, from March 16 - April 10, 2010.
