"Claudia is patient, thoughtful, and so creative! Her amazing illustrations bring my stories to life for children and young adults. I’m fortunate to have found such a gem."

Kathy J Perry, Chickadee Words, LLC

"Claudia is an amazing artist, a wonderful person and a great professional. I have found working with her to be a complete delight. I love her fantastic sketches and gorgeous illustrations. Her work brought my children's picture book to life, just as I had hoped it would. I am thrilled to be continuing to work with Claudia on the next book in my series. You can't go wrong on working with this talented and professional illustrator.”

Mary S.

"Claudia is a very talented and skilled illustrator. She did the illustration for the cover for my children's book and the finished piece was wonderful. She was able to covey a lot with gesture and body language and the overall design had a sense of mystery that I was hoping for. I’m very happy with her work."

Dan B.

"Claudia was a joy to work with throughout the project. She picked up on the esthetic that I was after and delivered an illustration that was not only on point, but early and of the highest quality. I enthusiastically recommend her and will look to her again when I need artwork.”

R.F. (Rich) K.

“I wanted to cry with joy when I saw the final illustration. It is beautiful and unique, exactly what I wanted. Claudia brought my characters to life! She did an amazing job, was right on time, and eagerly made tweaks or explained why we shouldn't make a change. She is awesome and I plan to use Claudia again very soon!”

Beverly J.
