Claudia is often seen around Byron with her hair in messy space buns, some kind of school girl gone rogue outfit and mischievous eyes that match. No question as to how she made it into our Artist Profiles - Claudia is a self-taught musician and has already started her very own girl band - The Galaxy Girls... Just another one of her creative outlets along with film and fashion. We talk art, style & inspiration below.Q. 3 words that sum you up? A. Roses are Red Q. Where are you from & how did you find yourself creating? I grew up in Sydney on the Northern Beaches. I moved to Byron when I was 19 and have found myself back here again after a stint of travels and living overseas.

I don't like grown up clothes, I hope I’m wearing tartan school skirts forever. Q. What do you dig about THRILLS? Thats its from Byron Bay but its in no way boho. Haha. Lots of denim. Lots of black.
