Claire Weissman Wilks has published several books as well as pursuing a career in painting and drawing, showing her work in Canada and Europe. During the 1970s her erotic images of women were rarely accepted for showing in conservative Toronto galleries, so she sought other means to show it, such as book publishing and illustration. Her books include: Two of Us Together: Each of Us Alone(1982), a compilation of erotic drawings exploring the nature of human sexuality and love; I Know Not Why the Roses Bloom (1986), a collection of lithographs and sculpture inspired by the diaries of Etty Hillesum, a Dutch Jew who died in the 1940s at Auschwitz; and Hillmother (1983), a series of drawings on birth and the relationship between mother and children. While her Lithuanian heritage was not an emphasis in her upbringing, Wilks feels that the connection to eastern Europe has constantly affected her work, particularly a preoccupation with the Second World War.
