Claudette
Claudette comes from a large family filled with artistic talent. The ninth of 11 children, she held a paintbrush in her hand from the time she could walk. She studied at the College of Marin in Kentfield, California; the San Francisco Art Institute and the Gerrit Reitveld Art Academy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In Amsterdam she learned to mix the old with the contemporary. Although her colors are muted, Claudette uses more than 85 of them in each of her works. She enjoys painting people as they are difficult and provide a narrative quality to her art. However, even when she paints a pattern there is a story behind it. To add modern qualities to her work, she paints more loosely in some areas while leaving other areas more representational.
