Many of us on the East Coast of the U.S. are having a snow/ice day (welcome or unwelcome) today. But program artist Clara has an antidote for that… thoughts of Africa… coming soon here on the blog!

This piece, “Elephant Family” just sold!

Because of the inclement weather today, the studio is closed and we are unable to welcome Clara back on what would have been her first day in the studio since an extended vacation, including a visit with her grandmother AND a trip to Africa.

We’re going to wait for Clara to share her own words with you, including her rundown about her amazing trip. In the meantime, we wanted to share some works in-progress by Clara that showcase her delicate and energetic line work, some featuring her favorite African animal, the elephant, along with other favorite subjects: houses, flowers, people, and pets.

Make Studio artists are counting down each day until our ninth anniversary celebration by sharing something that puts them on cloud nine. To help us celebrate, join them here on the blog all month through February 22nd, and in-person on February 23rd at Cloud 9!
