She lived in  Southern California until 2019 when she relocated to Washington State. She was raised in a creative household with supporting parents and siblings, who encouraged her study in the Arts at the local School of Arts and Music; here she acquired a very well-grounded classical art training, yet with Bauhause influences. After her arrival in the USA, she began to find her voice in her new environment and express herself through meaningful paintings, drawings, mixed media collages and poetry. One characteristic of Claudia’s oeuvre is creating series of work on different topics of momentary interest. One of these series was inspired by her 28 years of living under the atrocious regime of the Communist dictatorship in Romania. These memories culminated in the series of oil paintings and accompanying poetry. There are 10 more series in which are more then 74 large works, composed similarly of acrylic paint on the canvas and many strips of paper, leather, dried leaves, fabric, ribbons, hewing toward a worn and earthly palette. These materials were in fact harvested from old music scores, magazines, books, capitalizing on their evocative texts as well as textures. CAVU Cellars Welcomes Farhod Janovich  New Tasting Room Show  “Water and Rocks” June 6 through June 29, 2025 Reception June 6, 5 to 7 pm I create art with acrylic paints in various styles: modernism, post-impressionism, naturalism, and abstractionism. My artworks include abstracts, celestial abstracts, seascapes, and cityscapes.  Since my early years, I was convinced and captivated by the idea of infusing art in architectural, manufactural, and utilitarian designs and products to enrich and enhance our life and improve our coexistence with nature and with each other. Admiring grandiose and humble, strong and vulnerable natural objects and systems, I appreciate that humans strive to adapt to and replicate natural forms, structures, and functions.  I developed my passion for working with ceramic art first. In the process of glazing my pieces, I reconnected with the interest of mixing and combining colors and artistic compositions. This development turned my interest to acrylic painting. I give outlet to both structural and fluidic expressions in my visual presentation. The structural expression comes through my geometric series of Rose-Colored Glasses and White Noise, and the fluidic - through Celestial Abstracts. My other natural, modernistic, and abstract paintings combine both ways. I believe that “Artistic self-search is endless, and re-discovery is the prize for daring.” Samuel Drake Photographer, Illustrator, Graphic Artist A CAVU Cellars Tasting Room Show Artist’s Statement My art signifies what is most important to me, and I create to share hope. I create to relate. Below are pieces of my story, from the beauty I see day to day to the struggles and hope that comes from them.   OTHER EVENTS Salsa Dance Night First Friday Each Month Event Space.
