								Through painting Claudia Soria has been able to 
								unleash her creative side. From the moment she 
								started painting, her style has evolved from 
								painting in a realistic style to a more natural 
								and fluid style that borrows light and color 
								from the impressionists and surface and 
								brushstroke from modern and abstract painters. Claudia has been painting with renowned 
								artist Andy Braitman since 2005. She travels to 
								her native Bolivia every year where she paints 
								under the instruction of Bolivian painter Oscar 
								Rodriguez since 2002. Traveling has provided 
								Claudia with a diverse array of views for her 
								landscape paintings which include images from 
								North Carolina and Bolivia. Although Claudia's work has focused on 
								landscapes, she has also experimented with still 
								lives. She is currently working on creative 
								figure drawing using innovative techniques by 
								combining a diverse range of media. Claudia lives in Charlotte NC with her 
								husband and three children. |
