Claudia started off at a young age at the Werkkunstshule in Krefeld, Germany . Her teacher, Gerhard Kadow was a pupil of Paul Klee. At age sixteen she began a three and a half year course at the Textilfachshule in Zurich under the direction of Johannes Itten, former teacher at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. Thereafter she began working as a "textile designer" in various Studios and Companies in Switzerland first and then in USA (mainly New York City). For a time she designed greetings cards for American Greetings Corp. and also had several exhibitions of her paintings in Ohio, New York, Long Island, and Switzerland.

She lives now in Florida and works in her Beach House Studio. She became fascinated by the ocean waves with their movement and rhythm. What really completed her enthusiasm was the appearance of the angels. This is how the two subjects completed what are now her paintings of the "angels and waves."
