Hello & Welcome!
My name is Claudia, and I am a multimedia artist with a passion for art, science, and the practice of mindfulness. I was born to be an artist. Straight out of high school, I enrolled in a Fine Arts academy in my home country, Chile.
I am professionally trained in oil and acrylic painting, landscape design (when AutoCAD didn’t exist and we drew each plant by hand), and graphic design. I hold an M.A. in Art History and a Doctorate, where I researched science education and identity development through the lens of an artist. I was able to demonstrate the power of art as a learning tool for right-brained students who had been left behind by the educational system.
After COVID-19, I was fortunate to teach a required college-level Art Appreciation course, where I embedded art-for-healing techniques that my students loved and were deeply grateful for.
What Drives my Work
As a Florida resident for over 25 years, I am perpetually captivated by its diverse ecosystems, unique landscapes, and stunning beaches with white sands and clear waters. During my 15 years working with our state’s Natural History Museum, I became fascinated by the unbounded beauty we can find in nature. From geological formations, rocks, and oceans to patterns, soils, and textures, I see infinite color palettes and compositions that are majestic works of art. Each piece I create conveys the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world around us, as being in touch with nature promotes healing through its positive effects on mental health, physical well-being, and emotional resilience.
During my creative process, I explore ways to incorporate the mesmerizing views and patterns of the natural world, inviting others into a state of tranquility and peace. The unique techniques and various materials I use guide me in creating serene and engaging three-dimensional effects in my artwork.
My Values & Mission
My values are rooted in:
Respect for the natural world
Curiosity and creative experimentation
Art as a path to presence, healing and peace
Accessibility through both originals and fine art prints
My mission is to harness the transformative power of art to heal emotional wounds, nurture resilience, and inspire mindfulness, creating a compassionate space for all.
