...an emotional milestone that left my heart overflowing
Opening a permanent art space in the heart of downtown Laguna Beach is a dream come true. To every guest who climbed the stairs and stepped into our sanctuary: thank you for bringing your beautiful light into the room.
An Immersive Evening of Art, Food, Music, and Friends
I believe that viewing art should not be a simply visual exercise, but rather felt with your entire being. Therefore, I poured my energy into curating a multisensory atmosphere.
The evening featured the captivating talent of live cellist Alex Sanchez and the gorgeous french catering of my new neighbors at Moulin Café, all set in the inviting and intimate atmosphere created by the elegant LED wax candles from Amuvida by Anya Kanifolska-Zabasky.

“Walking into Clara’s studio felt less like attending an opening and more like stepping into a warm embrace. The space itself set the tone immediately — bright, sun-drenched, and alive with color, as though you were stepping into a sphere of pure light... what made the evening truly unforgettable was the people. Everyone who gathered that night seemed to arrive with one shared intention: to show up fully for Clara and for each other. There were genuine laughs, real curiosity, and a current of mutual support running through every exchange.”
