Claudia Gray - Gray Designs

This weekend... If you love rocks, gems, and unique jewelry, this is a wonderful family friendly show to spend the day exploring. Gray Designs will be there with a full booth of amazing options to shop.

A looking forward to a great show - come say hi if you are in the area.

Guilded Light - 40x40, An original acrylic abstract - a meditation on contrast and radiance, where soft silver tones rise across the canvas and subtle gold accents catch the light, creating a calm, refined, and quietly uplifting presence. www.graydesigns.org

Rue d’Amour
Oil on canvas, 22 × 36

This painting lived on my easel for three weeks, unfolding slowly and lovingly. As I painted, I found myself transported to Europe — into a gentler rhythm of life where hands are held, beauty is noticed, and time softens.

Rue d’Amour reflects a longing for an unhurried, affectionate way of being: strolling through life together, surrounded by color, flowers, and warmth. It is a meditation on companionship, elegance, and the quiet intimacy of sharing life’s paths side by side with ease.

So excited for this sweet local show! ✨
I’ll be at North Coastal Art Gallery from 10–2 PM with new art + gifts for the holidays.
Come say hi if you’re in the area 😊🎄

✨ Homegrown Serenity ✨
This sweet Tuscan-inspired landscape earned Third Place in Oils at Off Track Gallery — and last month it also took Second Place at North Coastal Art Gallery.

It recently sold (thank you to the collector!). And now, prints are now available for anyone who fell in love with this piece. 💛🌿

For me, there’s something about the rolling color fields, tall cypress trees, and quiet farmhouse that still makes me breathe a little deeper every time I look at it. A reminder that serenity can be homegrown — inside us, around us, and in the art we create.

DM me for print sizes & pricing.

I am so excited to share the pre-launch of my new Instagram channel: Life as Art, Art as Life 🎨🌿

For years, I’ve been carrying this idea in my heart — that life itself is a form of art, and art is a way of living. While in Athens, the land of philosophers, I realized this isn’t just an idea, it’s my own lived philosophy. 🌍💭

This channel will be a space for beauty, symbolism, philosophy, and creative expression — where things are not always as they seem, and where the deeper meaning and artistry of life reveal themselves.

Please help me grow this journey by subscribing and following along. Together, let’s celebrate the art within life and the life within art. 🌞💫
