I have loved art for as long as I can remember from drawing in color books and dot to dot pages to when I was (about 10 yrs) in my kangaroo phase and drew kangaroo’s everywhere. A special memory of when the teacher asked me to draw a very large kangaroo on the class chalkboard, I was so honored.
As I grew up I became less confident about my art abilities and, although I still drew faces from magazines and any other sources available, I was too afraid to take art classes in high school. I was afraid of being embarrassed as not being “good enough”. I ask you, how many beginning artist hide away thinking they aren’t “good enough”. What is good enough? Real art is not being compared to anyone else, but exhibiting who you are and telling viewers how you feel and see the world. So looking at art from that perspective, there is no such thing as “good” and “bad” art but just “ART” “personal art” from anyone who wants to create from their heart.
My favorite thing to draw, paint or sculpt is people. I love to do people and always have, (except for my kangaroo phase). Art can be expressed in many different ways, by dance, gymnastics, cooking, photo’s, quilting, and by my favorites, sculpting, painting and sewing. And many more. All can be a form of expression and true art from the soul. I hope you enjoy my website as I exhibit my feelings in art. Claudia
