Claudia’s work unfolds through layers of texture, presence, and quiet transformation. Rooted in lived experience, her practice moves through devotion, surrender, and a deep reverence for what cannot always be seen. Rather than drawing from the external world, her paintings emerge from inner landscapes shaped by emotion, memory, and moments of reckoning.

Her process is intuitive and embodied. Working with earth pigments, tea, ink, and natural elements, she builds surfaces that feel weathered, organic, and alive. Each piece carries a sense of time and erosion, where imperfection is not corrected but honored. There is a wabi-sabi sensibility throughout her work, a recognition of beauty in what is raw, incomplete, and in transition.
For Claudia, creation is an act of remembrance. A return to the self, and an invitation for others to do the same. Painting becomes a kind of ceremony, where emotion is transmuted into form and the unspeakable is given shape. Her work does not ask to be understood immediately, but to be felt, slowly and deeply.

Themes of rebirth, duality, and inner transformation move quietly through her practice. Strength and softness exist side by side. Dissolution and emergence unfold within the same space. Each piece holds a sense of awakening, of something shifting beneath the surface.

Her work often resonates on a deeply personal level, evoking memory, presence, and something almost ancestral. It invites connection not through explanation, but through feeling.

At its core, Claudia’s practice is about returning. To the body. To truth. To the parts of ourselves that remain, even as everything else changes.

On view with Le Studio at Booth H1 at Affordable Art Fair Austin, May 14–17. 🌹

In conversation with

Tessa Brown is an oil painter known for her atmospheric cloudscapes and contemplative landscapes. Her work moves through light, shadow, and mood, creating scenes that feel less like places and more like memories.

Inspired by the natural world, her paintings hold a quiet sense of duality. Sorrow and light exist together, offering a feeling of hope and something just beyond what can be seen.
Her process is rooted in observation but guided by emotion, allowing each piece to unfold slowly into something soft, expansive, and reflective.

Her work has been featured in collaborations with Crate & Barrel and Anthropologie, and in curated collections and designer spaces across the country.

At its core, her practice invites stillness. A moment to pause, reflect, and feel.
