My Background
My artwork is often determined by the medium I choose to use for my creations. I use many different types of medium; Watercolor, Acrylic, Oil paints, Inks and handmade papers.

My artwork is often determined by the medium I choose to use for my creations. I use many different types of medium; Watercolor, Acrylic, Oil paints, Inks and handmade papers. Sometimes I incorporate more then one medium in a piece. My process consists of quick strokes sometimes by brush, found objects or by hand. I manipulate the paint on the surface by adding and subtracting it to give a feeling of depth and visual interest. I start with an image in mind and then let my creative process take over.

Clara grew up on a farm in Upton, Massachusetts where much of her childhood was spent exploring the amazing orchards and woodlands that were so plentiful around her family home. Clara saw the forest as an enormous house that contained endless secrets and mysteries, a veritable feast for her curious imagination. There is no doubt that these childhood memories hold the key to and are the primary source of her creativity. Today her artwork is mostly inspired by nature and sites that are personally significant. Many of her monotypes and paintings either real or imagined are a re-examination of these places.
