About the Artist (Me)!

Claire Arnold

Hello! My Name is Claire arnold

I am autistic, and I’m proud of it! Art has been my passion since I was a little girl, and I am planning to be an illustrator. I have been drawing ever since I was five years old. It’s my favorite hobby and my main talent. I love to draw people, animals, flowers, and sometimes landscapes. Pencil has always been my strong point for years, but since 2017, I’ve started to get into using color for my traditional pieces. I’ve been using copic markers, colored pencils and paints to color my artwork. I mostly like to draw my characters anime style or my favorite anime shows. In 2018, I got into digital art. I mostly use the app Procreate on my ipad, which I have done many art pieces with. I love watching Disney movies (Tangled is my all time favorite Disney movie), Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and My Hero Academia. When I am not doing artwork, I am with Arms Wide Open. I do musical theatre productions with them, take classes and I teach a couple too! I have my associate’s degree in 2-D art with an emphasis in digital art from San Diego Mesa College.
