Hello, I am Claudia Kay, thank you for stopping by -
I was born and raised in Brazil then moved to the United States in my teenage years.
In 2018 I relocated to South Florida from Texas
About my work:
I am self-taught artist working with acrylics, and mixed media
I use different tools and multiple layering of fine paint
creating depth, light, multiple dimmensions, and movement
By using multiple mediums such as gesso and different tools I texture to my work
I follow no one specific rule when creating
Some of my work is done on wood canvas
My works show lots of movement and emotions because that is how I paint
Moments we all want to freeze in time, the kindness a stranger has shown,
the mighty laugh of children, or the warm impression an embrace leaves in our souls.
These moments to me are whispers from God.
I take these whispers to the canvas
allowing my hands to dance and
bring peace to the heart
How I got started painting
I discovered my Soul the Day I discovered the art of creating
After a lifetime in Corporate America, it was time to realign my priorities
I struggled to find meaning in the countless hours I dedicated to my professional career
One winter morning sensing the turmoil, my mother said to me:
“Filha, pinta” (Daughter, paint)
She handed me a paintbrush, a canvas, and some paint
Not having ever held a paintbrush,
filled with fear I picked up the brush and took to the canvas
I plunged into this foreign world that up until then had been
concealed by my preconceived notion of who I thought I needed to be
Thus my soul awakened one brush stroke at a time
I discovered my Soul the Day I discovered the art of creating
My work is the journey of giving voice to my creative being ultimately allowing
myself to live a life for today, experiencing every moment to the fullest
unshackled from the false notion of control
I love vibrant colors, I have found that my brush strokes
dance to the music that accompanies me while creating
I enjoy movement in my creations
Different themes erupt with each creation as mind, body, and spirit join in expression
Dedicating myself to creating I am free
