Claudia Tremblay

Born in Canada, Claudia travelled the world and studied horticulture before landing in Guatemala, working with an NGO building medicinal gardens. She was inspired by the Mayan refugees from Mexico’s civil war who worked beside her and, with no formal training, strove to capture their melancholy souls and inner strength in paint. After 14 years, establishing herself at the heart of regional culture there, the rising violence drove her home to Montreal, where she is still painting full time.
