Claudia Lima, Oil Painting
Claudia Lima was born in San Diego and grew up in the small town of Julian, California. She is the oldest of nine children. She graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in Animal Science. After graduation, she went to work in the family lumber business in San Diego. In 1982, she moved to Ukiah, California, and opened her own wholesale lumber brokerage business. A decade later, she married her husband John, a logging contractor, and moved to Humboldt County. She currently lives in Arcata, California, with her husband John and son Christopher.
Claudia began focusing on oil painting through classes at Cal Poly Humboldt. She then began to paint what she found meaningful, the country, the lifestyle, but most of all the people. Her work concentrates on an impressionistic style of the subject matter of logging and agriculture in Humboldt County. She is currently working as a full-time artist.
