Claudia recently had an extensive courtroom sketching project in which she used pastels. The project had been so emotionally intense and grisly, she wanted to take this refound knowledge of the medium and turn it into a lighter and happier artistic expression. |

She starts these pieces as a hand done drawing, with the paper and pastel texture, adding fine details on the computer which gives a homey feeling, without being dated. |

This group of illustrations
brings Claudia back to her roots. Hand drawn art with watercolor or
airbrush is one of her favorite mediums. The current trend is reaching back toward
a more organic style, which Claudia feels is most appealing and natural
to her. |
