Claudia’s initial art education was at the Victoria College of Art for a year long foundational program. Following this, Claudia was a student in an art atelier in Toronto for the study of classical art in the traditional French atelier style. This included study from the flat (master copy drawings), cast drawing and painting, painting still life with colour as well as various workshops over a period of four years. Claudia also attended several programs at Studio Escalier in France, an intensive art school for international arts residency dedicated to contemporary classical art. This included drawing the figure, drawing from sculptures in the Louvre and portrait painting.
Since then, Claudia has studied with several artists in the United States and in Canada both for workshops and longer periods of study. This has included private study with Douglas Flynt in Fort Myers, Florida and study at the Tony Ryder School, an atelier in Santa Fe, New Mexico that is dedicated to teaching painting and drawing from life. Her work is a blend of the classical training traditions with a contemporary view. She has an interest in painting the beauty of simple objects, portraiture (including animal portraits), nature studies, and drawing.
