Yes, it’s still me! I sunset the "Rusty Dog Textiles" name so that all of my creative endeavors—both my fabric pieces and my watercolor paintings—live beautifully together under one cohesive personal brand: Claudia Buchanan Artist. While the name on the label is changing to reflect my evolution as a fine artist, the heart, care, and love put into every single piece remains exactly the same.

I absolutely do! Co-creating a custom piece that captures a special memory, a favorite rural landscape, or a specific floral arrangement is one of my favorite things to do. I welcome custom commissions in both watercolor and textile art mediums. To get started, simply contact Claudia with your ideas, preferred size, and color palette, and she will contact you with next steps.

Because my textile art is made from high-quality fabrics and intricate stitching, it should be treated with the same love as a fine painting. I recommend hanging your fiber art away from direct, harsh sunlight to protect the rich fabric colors from fading over time. To dust your piece, a light, gentle pass with a lint roller or a soft brush vacuum attachment is all it takes to keep it looking pristine.

Yes, and I am excited to be expanding my classes! I love sharing the joy of the creative process with others. I regularly host local demonstrations and am currently preparing to launch interactive workshops focusing on loose, vibrant mediums like Alcohol Ink painting. No prior art experience is ever required—my classes are all about learning to relax, laugh, and create. Sign up for my newsletter to be the first to know about upcoming class schedules!

Because each piece of art is completely one-of-a-kind, the best way to get first dibs on my latest creations is to subscribe to my newsletter. I regularly send out friendly updates featuring sneak peeks of just-finished pieces straight from my Maxwell, California studio, along with exclusive studio stories and upcoming event dates.
