welcome!

I’m Claudia, a writer and artist.

what do I write?

I write poetry and middle-grade fiction; partly of the realistic kind, mostly of the magical kind.

what’s my art?

I paint with alcohol inks and watercolours. I’ve realized recently that I paint places I want to be — it usually isn’t until I’m finished a painting that I sit back and think, hmmmmm … I’d like to be there. And “there” is usually out in nature, surrounded by rocks and trees and stars.

what else is there to know?

I love reading, writing, painting, knitting, and above all camping. I keep telling people that one of these days I’m going to sell everything and live on the road in a VW van. Just you wait and see!

I was born in Austria, but now live in Toronto, Canada with my husband. I have three adult children, two loving doggos, and an aquarium full of darling little water creatures.

    After a long day at work sitting in front of a computer screen, I find it so difficult to do the same at home. I miss coffee shops to work in. This is so important to remember. Just take a word at a time! Excited to watch your journey!

    Side note:
    I, too, thought that all Stephen King’s work was scary. I learned not all his work is scary, I started with Different Seasons; four short stories all very good! Including Rita Wilson and Shawshank Redemption, and The Body (also known as Stand by Me).

    1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Amber-Rose. I look forward to sitting in one of those coffee shops with you one day — maybe to work side-by-side, or maybe just to hang out and discuss a not-scary Stephen King book! 🙂
