Clarey Wamhoff creates art in her cozy Thiensville, Wisconsin home and studio which she shares with her husband and their wireharied dachshund, Madeline! 

A sense of place has always been an integral part of Clarey's art. From childhood drawings of cozy houses to recreating traditional quilt patterns, she has explored the combination of shapes, patterns, and colors that evoke a warm feeling of home. She simplifies wherever possible allowing her paintings to become an abstraction of color and form. Her work is inspired by many art forms, including Japanese woodblock printing, German Expressionism, and American traditional quilting. Wamhoff loves that her paintings are often described as heartfelt and happy visions!
