Claudia is inspired by the great Impressionists to create pieces that embody traditional Impressionist influences combined with contemporary styles across a diverse range of subject matter. She uses paint to describe the beauty of life and finds inspiration from the daily observation of the world around her. Claudia strives to capture singular, transient moments in time in which the contrast between light and dark values are striking.

Claudia’s artistic method is emotional based. She feels a strong connection with the subject matter and creates a story based on what she sees. Whether she’s painting a landscape, still life, or portrait, she weaves the subject into the work through color and light.

California offers a vibrant color palette to any painter; the desert, the beach and the mountains are all in very close proximity. She feels very fortunate to live in a place where she has such an amazing amount of beauty to paint.
