Claudia Savage

Claudia Savage is a Northern California based artist and landscape designer whose work captures the evolving beauty of natural and urban environments. She earned a degree in Landscape Architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2009, blending her love of design with a passion for connecting people to the outdoors.

While working professionally in landscape design, Claudia returned to painting to rediscover creative freedom, eventually exhibiting and selling her work locally. She is passionate about teaching and sharing her process, encouraging others to slow down, observe, and discover the beauty in their surroundings—immersed in shifting light, color, and atmosphere.

Recently, Claudia has developed a passion for plein air painting, embracing oils and working outdoors with a portable easel that allows her studio to exist anywhere. She is drawn to the sculptural quality of brushstrokes and the way texture interacts with light and color. Her inspiration ranges from the iconic landscapes of California and the Pacific Northwest to everyday scenes, from the coastline of Point Lobos to the chickens in her own garden.
