Claudia's illustration technique includes traditional collage techniques and digitally manipulated imagery. She studied printing and computer graphics at the London College Of Printing, and her photo collages have been exhibited in galleries throughout England and Ireland. Her traditional skills have been taught to her by her late artist father. Her influences range from cabaret and theatre to rock and pop culture as well as film - especially vintage chillers, 60s and 70s retro movies, and silent movies from the German Expressionist era.

 

Claudia's first photography book, entitled "Transgender Underground - London And The Third Sex", has been published by Glitter/Creation Books. For more information on the book, and to view the other pages on this web site, click on the relevant thumbnail image below.
