Born and reared in Madera and now living in Clovis, Claudia has produced art her entire life. Majoring in art at Immaculate Heart College was a natural fit for Claudia. After college, she worked in art advertising, before starting her own art business.

Claudia Fletcher's paintings and drawings are a balance of precision and expressive movement, as if she had cut the ceaseless energy of a rodeo from the dust swirling around its participants. Her talent has not gone unnoticed. She was commissioned to do a limited edition print for the N.R.C.H.A.'s 25th Snaffle Bit Futurity Anniversary and has painted the annual Clovis, CA Rodeo Poster since 1992.

Claudia has, for years, been at the frontline in sharing her life's work with others. She has had numerous exhibitions, given workshops and demonstrations and taught art in elementary schools. Her portraits have been commissioned nationwide and her originals and prints hang in homes and galleries coast to coast. She has been accepted and invited to several prestigious art shows and featured in many publications, including "U.S. Art" and "Equine Image."
