Entirely figurative, her oil paintings are centered around human sexuality and gender roles in society. In some of her work, it becomes apparent how these things vary among region, culture, and even era. Personal impressions are an important part of Claudia’s thought process; both how people are perceived by others as well as how they perceive themselves. She considers both the female and male gazes to be present in her work. Ultimately, much of her work is evocative of the impact that societal conventions have upon the sexes, such as vanity, vulnerability and virility.
