January 2 – March 3

Claudia Hartley earned a BFA degree in painting and drawing from the University of Georgia in 1967. She says that her love of art began as a child when she was given a new box of Crayola crayons. She spent many years living and painting out West and has recently returned to GA to live near family. Her paintings are often described as “happy” and she says, “it warms my heart to know that I’m able to pass that love and joy on to others.”
