Clarissa Horton Studios
My work is about the emotional turmoil and hopeful desires caused by love. My paintings are allegorical explorations of the psychological effects of relationships. I use motifs and symbols to help give my stories a deeper yet hidden meaning. I love the art of story telling and I portray this by the narratives created in my work.

Whether my paintings are self portraits or I use a another figure other than myself to model in my work, each painting are stories that are birth from the heart and in some way abstractly based off of a true story. My paintings are visual expressions of my emotional experiences. My paintings come from a broken place. These are paintings about the brokenness caused by love, but even in their brokenness my subjects in the paintings still have hope.
