Claudia Croneberger visited Tidewater Virginia area in 1977 and has lived here ever since.  She began creating art as soon as she could hold a crayon, but did not pursue it as her full time career until she was in her 40’s. 

Croneberger’s deep love of the Earth prompted her to choose paper mache’ as her medium of choice.  Her paper Mache’ sculptures are simply delightful, with a whimsy that never fails to bring a smile to the viewer. 

She mixes sunshine, butterfly wings, the smell of grass after a summer shower, and a child’s smile; adds determination and a novelist’s eye; and creates art. Croneberger creates more than art. The creatures and creations that inhabit her world transcend what one thinks of when one thinks of art.
