Clare Rojas

Clare Rojas’ paintings open a door to another dimension. Having studied both printmaking and painting, she achieves a personal surrealism by synthesizing her associations and experiences of colors, forms and sounds. The magic of Rojas’ storytelling manifests new realms and safe refuges for the viewer.
