Claudia Stern

I was born and bred in Switzerland, and have lived in Australia since 1983, in the Sydney area at first, then moved to Coonabarabran in 2000.

My artistic career didn’t begin until 1992.

Currently, I am enrolled in a printmaking course at Dubbo TAFE with tutor Mary Dorahy

Drawing my inspiration mostly from nature, I work in any medium from charcoal sketches to oils, watercolours to printmaking, striving for constant improvement.

I paint as often as I can, in between running a cattle station and an art gallery, and get as much enjoyment out of providing visual pleasure as I do of painting. 

I have only very recently begun to exhibit and enter competitions, and have won a few modest prizes.

Nevertheless, over the years, I have sold some paintings to mainly private collections in Australia and overseas.
