LISTENING AND LOOKING (Suggested for Stage Three; Learning)

Claudia Marseille did not start painting till age 40 due to discouragement from her 7th grade teacher. Born hearing-impaired she became especially observant of the world and the people around her. Learning to lip-read and attune to people’s faces led her to fine-art portrait photography, which ultimately led her to the amazing encaustic paintings she makes now. Listen to the inspiring interview of this artist’s journey and discoveries along the way.

Some highlights from the interview:

• How Claudia discovered fine art photography through a fascination with faces
• How she found her way and segued into making paintings
• The inspiration and thinking behind her current abstract paintings
• How she entered the gallery world
• How Claudia enjoys being forced to constrain herself with imagery in order to make paintings
