Demonstration March 2008

"My work is about Texture, Light, Object and Personal Symbols expressing my love for intimacy with Life-Dream-Beauty-and Mysteries".

Claire-Lisa Matthey Anderegg was born, raised and educated in Switzerland.
Now residing in San Diego, she describes each of her creations "as a sort of intimate battle, paved with experimentation, transformation, discovery, struggle, joy, excitment and surprise".
Being attracted to ancient civilization, oriental art and their philosophies, her work reflects and brings those images to the surface.


The demonstration is open to the public.
Location is: Calvera Hills Community Center at Calvera Community Park, 2997 Glasgow Drive, Carlsbad, CA.
Time: 1:30 - 3:30 PM, March 14
