There never seems to be enough time!

Between  chores and booking art sales I never have enough time to spend in the studio! I know it takes a lot of work but my biggest thing is the days are way to short. I no sooner get started and the sun is going down and then I stress half the evening about getting more of my art completed for the next show! Guess I should be happy about that considering that sales are up. I need someone to do all that "other" stuff so I can just focus on my work :-) That would be ideal!

Here's some of my new items I am soon to be offering! Angel fish are one of the requests I receive often so I decided it was time to put them in production. Sea horses are popular to.






All my work comes ready for display, the hardware for hanging  is part of the physical
structure of each sculpture.

Does it Make You Crazy?? Or is it Just me?

I took a drive to the grocery store to get a can of pepper. This should have been real easy...no cart..one item..in and out. One would think so anyways.

The store was very busy as you might guess with a long line of people waiting to check out,and there was 2 checkers available to assist you! What the heck is that? What happened to "customer service"??

 To make things even worse (yes it can get worse) the lady in front of me had a cart with one 1/2 gallon of ice cream in it. Guess this was way to heavy to carry on its own. Well after about 15 minutes in line to buy this can of pepper, it is her turn to check out.

She must have saved up enough energy to lift the ice cream out of her cart and place in on the counter..because she left her cart right where it was in every bodies way! The people behind me with carts were not going to get any farther down the line unless the cart was removed.

 I told the lady that she can not just leave the cart, she needed to take it down the line with her and return it to its proper place. Her reply...Oh I am done with it! ( can you guess what I wanted to do?) I ended up pushing the cart through myself so I could finally purchase my pepper!

I find this self centered attitude everywhere anymore. What is this world coming to?

Where the magic happens


Hello everyone!


Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a bit about what I do! My name is Claudia and I am an artist living in southern California for the past 32 years. My company name is Liquid Assets. I adopted this name for the very reason I create these sculptures. Water is an asset to be protected. It is the one thing we can not do without!

A lot of my time was spent scuba diving in the cold waters of the pacific ocean. During those diving years, I grew to love the marine environment. Back when I first started diving there were plenty of fish in the sea! ( not talking about the kind you date! LOL) 

Over time I began to notice a decrease in the numbers of marine life and an increase in the amount of trash. Not only was there garbage all over the ocean floor, but animals were wearing fishing line and 6 pack holders as necklaces. It was a very sad sight to see such beauty soiled by what man has done to our oceans.

It is my wish, through my art, to bring awareness to the importance of clean water for all of us and to protect our marine life before it's to late. With out clean water we are all an endangered species. One day your childrens' children may only know about these creatures by holding one of my sculptures in their hands.
