Cabinetmaker / artist

Claudia Gomez Juncal is an artist-fine woodworker who dialogues with the world through touch. Textures, sensations and colors come to her through her hands and are then translated into wooden objects. Without a doubt, her passion stems from the contemplation of nature and her intimate relationship with her native country, Mexico.

Claudia immigrated to Canada in 2014 and graduated in 2012 from the Montreal School of Cabinetmaking. Currently, she is dedicated to expanding her creative world through conscious movement and woodworking. Her

goal is first to create objects charged with feelings. To then co-exist and dialogue with creations and performance art.
