Email: claudiabo@sbcglobal.net My Passion is art... in the form of drawing, painting, and recently creating versions of my paintings in clay form. I have such an appreciation for life and what it has to offer each and every one of us on the planet. Through my artworks, I hope to portray the faith and love I have for life and the world. Claudia Bohanek introduced over 20 pieces of artwork in downtown Joliet, Illinois, Saturday, December 13th. Her mediums consist of colorful blends of acrylic and glazes, along with oils. She also works with pastels, charcoals, and pencil. Claudia's most recent artwork can be seen at Louie's Chophouse Restaurant in Shorewood, Illinois. The mural design is a beautiful angelic scene with open sky, painted on a cathedral ceiling with skylight windows. Claudia Bohanek has been an artist for over 10 years and continues to grow in her talent every day. Claudia began studying art in high school, but did not pursue her passion until she married in 1993. Her talent led her into hand-painted pottery, glassware, and furniture. Upon the birth of her first child in 1995, she developed an interest in portraiture, leading her to studies in drawing and painting at the Indianapolis Art Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. After a few years, her drawing and painting skills advanced her into mural design, along with continued portraiture. In 2001, her family moved back to their hometown of Chicago, Illinois, and they have made their home in a nearby town. Her most recent mural work at a local restaurant has engendered her desire to paint on canvas. Claudia has a passion for life that she fully embraces, a passion that is inspired by her husband and children. As Claudia continues down her path in the art of painting, she looks forward to where it will lead her next. |
