Claudia's profile
Claudia Cappelle was born in Chicago, Illinois. She studied at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Illustration and the MFA Studio Arts program at Towson University in Maryland.
She explores and reflects on the tension between of permanence/impermanence in nature. She draws parallels between this theme and the social implications of our relationship with the environment. By repurposing a non-recyclable material and creating natural dyes from found objects, she embraces the philosophy of impermanence and raises awareness about environmental sustainability.
