Clara Woods • artist

Clara is a painter, a motivational speaker, an entrepreneur, and an inclusion advocate who experienced a prenatal stroke. As a result, she cannot read, write, or speak like most people. However, she does understand Portuguese, Italian, and English.

In 2018, with the support of her family, Clara was inspired by Frida Kahlo, her muse, to make her first exhibition. This exhibition took place in Florence, Italy, where Clara was born. Since then, Clara has made around 30 exhibitions on three continents, and in 2021, LVMH - Louis Vuitton hosted Clara's art show at Art Basel, Miami. She sold over 800 paintings internationally and moved to California after receiving her American Visa as an extraordinary talent.

In Clara's world, everyone is invited to celebrate inclusion and diversity. Through her art and social media channels, Clara spreads the message that each one of us has unique gifts and talents to share. By sharing her own story, she inspires others to rise and shine.

Clara has been featured in Good morning America, Forbes, Grazia, ArtsLife, and other major publications. She is also the subject of two documentaries and two children's books. Clara lives, studies, and creates her art in Huntington Beach, California since Christmas 2020.
