Born in Lima, Perú, Claudia is a Ventura-based illustrator and educator. Claudia’s bi-cultural upbringing is a major influence in her work. Growing up, she spent her time drawing, painting, collaging and assembling short stories into miniature books. Her paintings and illustrations bring to life expressive and empowered characters that define a story.
"Finding the visual equivalent of a concept is what excites me about being an illustrator. Taking an idea and re-interpreting it pictorially drives my work. My palette is characterized by bold and vibrant colours, empowered and confident characters, organic linework and shapes, and uplifting storytelling."
“My goal as an artist is to contribute to a culture of empowered people, stories and causes that foster a sense of purpose, inclusivity, and diversity. I strive to make meaningful art that elevates people and communities.” A sustainable market of support for women artists is essential for the optimal collaboration between artists and brands. I look forward to working with brands, companies, and publications who share in this value.”
Claudia’s illustrations appear in magazines, websites, apparel, and publications. Claudia received her Master of Art from California State University. She lives with her family in Ventura, CA.
