Claudia Horsey

Claudia Horsey wishes you a Happy Halloween!… a week later :s (better late than ever, right?)

These days I’m working on developing a new product – Wrapping paper!

I’m using a handmade stamp to create the patterns for the paper; professional quality printing ink and recycled paper.

I find something very interesting in the process of repetition. I actually love it! it puts me in some sort of meditative state of mind that I really enjoy.

It did take quite a bit of time, and I’m still working on making it more sustainable…. but it’s a good  start

Show and tell!

Any suggestions, feedback, ideas, questions?

My sister Eva has never touched the snow, until now! As you may (or may not) know we’re both from Caracas, Venezuela. She’s here visiting for 3 months and I couldn’t wait to take her to Mt Baker to touch the snow. It was a beautiful day but the snow was a bit old, and it wasn’t as snowy as I was hoping. I was in such urgency to take her to see and touch the snow that I forgot we’re not quite in the season yet, but believe me, she loved it!

This Mt. is gorgeous isn’t it?

She’s thrilled as you can see… and a little scary too!

It was a really fun trip and hike, hopefully we’ll have the chance to do it again when it’s actually snowing until then, we’ll enjoy remembering how crazy she got when she saw and touched the snow. Love you sis!

The Whatcom Artist Studio Tour was a couple of weeks ago, and I’m proud to say I was selected to be part of it! It was really fun to meet the people in my community and hear all the feedback they had to share. Luckily I had my sister Eva coming to town from Venezuela to help me out with everything! and I also had my favorite photographer visiting and shooting some lovely pictures of my studio. Please take a look at her work cuz she’s awesome!

Check ‘em out!

I just wanted to show you some work in progress, basically because that’s most of what I’ve been doing lately. With the Studio Tour coming in 2 months! I know it sounds like a lot, but it’s not that much time if you consider all the other work that I’m doing besides art. It’s all fun though, and I’m grateful I have the opportunity to do all these things. Being a Artist/Nanny can get you pretty busy

Some rough sketches before starting goes long ways.

Still quite a bit to get done though. This is just a little sneak peek preview

 I’m trying to create a little collection here. This are other boards I’m planning on using.  I used colors for the illustration boards.

An alternative to be.

Without limits on creativitity, on being who I am, on anything at all. Endless possibilities.

An alternative to express and by doing so becoming what I already am.

I am you. You are me.

I’ve been trying to add some textures to my work, just exploring here and there new ways of doing things. Keeping it fresh is very important to me in order to keep it fun. So here’s a sneak peek of some new work… You’ll see them on the shop very soon. Stay in touch!

A super quick note just to say how excited I am about being selected to open my studio for this year’s Whatcom Artist Studio Tour. I found out a bit ago but I was too busy telling you about other things. Anyways, You are invited! if you’re around the area, I would love to have you in my studio in October! Please, check out their website.
