A little bit about me

Colors of Clara was created by me (Clara MacDonell) and currently operates out of San Francisco. I started the brand to create art for fun and document my process along the way, but I am now looking to share my work more broadly. I aim to create art that makes people smile since I believe we all could use more color and fun in our lives.

I love making new friends. Feel free to reach out.
