Hello & Welcome to the "Official" Claire Was Here website.
Heating up here in Camp Verde AZ !
March 20, 2008 Claire Vohman here - If you would like some fun art, funny art! and whimsical art, you've come to the right place. I blend inspirational art with humorous art, and bright colors. You could even call it Folk Art. I did study black and white photography and computer graphic design. But since I figured out this painting on my own, you could call me a"self-taught artist".
I'm now reverse painting on small frames. I also am starting "Painting Lessons"... things I've learned from my furry friends. See some on my NEW page.
Also new in my painting repertoire are PORTRAITS, I work off of a photo and add elements of importance to you. These are not traditional, of course! I do not paint in the style of the "Grand Masters" in case you haven't noticed. (see Brenda's portrait on my NEW page)
I paint backwards on old windows (reverse-glass painting) I write backwards on them also (a natural talent of mine!) Window paintings are my specialty. On old wooden windows.
I have 2 dogs and 3 cats (see them on the ABOUT page)
Another part of my repertoire includes small 3D paintings with objects glued on. These are usually very cool, if I do say so myself, you can see some on the PAINTINGS and the NEW page.
Thanks for visiting my whimsical art site, please check out my bookmarks, refrigerator magnets, prints, inspirational paintings, painted records, painted shutters, talking sticks, coloring book and reverse painted windows! I can put all images on T-shirts, mugs, and other cool items!
Blessings upon you and yours.
