Vibrant, Colorful & "Pure Fun" would accurately describe Clara Nilles acrylic animal paintings! Art is her passion. Primarily self taught, Clara Nilles has been drawing and painting since she can remember. After a long career in finance, she finally left the corporate world to pursue her biggest dream . . . of becoming an artist. Her long-standing medium of choice has been acrylics, because of their layering capabilities and intense vivid colors. Most of her paintings employ many layers in brilliant color. She believes color is the universal language that brings a positive energy to people and communicates strong emotions and mood. She also thinks that animals bring out the goodness and feelings of being with the earth. It’s a combination with timeless appeal for both children and adults. In her paintings, she strives to capture the unique characteristics, an engaging look, or the lively spirit of the animal. She makes a conscious effort to create paintings with their own voice and personality. Her paintings are frequently imaginative, slightly whimsical, but mostly fun. She wants people to laugh, love, and smile when viewing her works. American Visions is excited to carry her Giclee Canvas prints! Click here to visit Clara Nilles's Website!
