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. |
