Claudia Fluegge's formal art education was received during her adolescent years in Britain, taking O-level Art. After graduating, she went on to study Social Pedagogy in her native country, Germany. When she moved to New Mexico and discovered silk painting, art became her main focus again. Her work has been shown in many galleries, as well as many juried and invitational shows throughout New Mexico, most recently at the Albuquerque Arts Alliance.  She took second place in the wearable arts category and first place in the mixed media category at he Fifty-Ninth National Capitol Orchid Society Exhibition in Washington D.C.

She says:
“I employ a variety of techniques to create my silk art, many self-taught. The most commonly known method I use for my wearable art is the Serti technique. My wall art I create in a slightly different way. I use a liquid acid dye that I apply with a brush and I work from the lightest to the darkest color. A rubbery substance, gutta, is used to outline the design and confine the dye. It is not until the piece has been steam-set that the colors become permanent. The process can be quite lengthy but rewarding.”
