Paintings by Claudia Fletcher
Professional artist and muralist Claudia Fletcher, born and raised on a cotton and alfalfa farm in Madera, California, possesses an inherent love for the San Joaquin Valley and a natural talent for capturing this essence through art. Following in the footsteps of her artist grandmother, Claudia was only eight years old when she participated in her first art show. Years later this artist has won many art competitions, produced commissions of artwork and portraits paintings and drawings for clients across the U.S., created murals for several cities, and, since 1992, has painted the official Clovis Rodeo Poster. Referring to her favorite art subject, she says, "The power and magnificence of the horse was my first channel for the expression of my talent in drawing and painting."
