My name is Claudia Voorend, I am a Surface Pattern Designer living in the Netherlands. Making art has been my passion for two decades and it's what gives me joy and brings me in contact with people around the world. 

My life changed drastically due to an accident after which I ended up in a wheelchair. I’m so grateful that art keeps me going and gives me such an opportunity to fulfill my dreams. My mission is to cherish life, bring color into this world and inspire other people to make art.

I'm using my laptop and iPad now to create colorful designs. The internet is truly a  blessing and taking courses online helps me make anything possible and gives me the feeling that I can achieve anything I want.
