Claudia Echeverria, known as CLoD, is a Venezuelan-born artist based in New York City. Her work draws inspiration from the Wayuu tribe near the Venezuela-Colombia border, where she grew up. After years as a full-time mother and a career in TV production, CLoD took a solo, year-long journey around the world that led her to pursue painting professionally. Her first juried show awarded her Best in Show, and she has since exhibited widely in Miami and New York, including a solo exhibit at the Coral Springs Museum in Florida. Through her art, CLoD connects with a global audience by capturing shared human emotions and experiences.
