Claudia Tanzer has deep faith which is manifested in her art. She specializes in constructions
and images of crosses, usually with some verse of scripture attached to them.
Her only exposure to art was in High school at Vestavia Hills, Alabama and one year of
Fine Arts studies at the University of Montevallo, Montevallo, Alabama. With no formal
training, she was inspired to create crosses. She uses sandpaper, sand, caulk, sawdust,
burlap fabric, acrylic and watercolor paints to create these crosses on old fencepost
wood.
Her first exhibit was the 2007 Art for Hope House fund raising exhibit for the Hope
House at the Pink Palace in which she sold five pieces of art. Hope House is a preschool
for children infected with the HIV virus.
Since her first exhibit she exhibited her work at Hope Presbyterian's Stirring Art Gallery,
"Simply Stated" Memphis Artist gallery in Oak Court Mall, Collierville Christian
Church, 2008 Cooper-Young Arts and Crafts Festival, 2008 Art for Hope Show at the Pink
Palace and 2008 Artists Holiday Show.
She has a home gallery where 2009 pieces are shown to interested patrons by appointment.
She has started her business "Cross Art by Claudia" to exhibit and sell her art work and
sell note cards and postcards of her crosses.
Artwork inspired by what Jesus Christ did you me and you on the cross at calvary over 2000 years ago. He is still very much alive in the hearts of his believers which I count myself as one.
