Clara Woods is a painter, artist, speaker, and podcast host. Clara had a stroke inside the womb and was born in 2006. The stroke made it hard for her to read, write, or speak. But that never stopped Clara. She understands three languages (Portuguese, Italian, and English), and she expresses herself through her incredible art.

In 2018, Clara had her first art show in Florence, Italy, where she was born. Since then, she has performed in about 40 shows in various parts of the world. Louis Vuitton hosted Clara's art show at Art Basel in Miami!

Clara has sold over 1,000 original paintings to people around the world and has also created one of the official posters for the 2026 Olympic Games, making her the youngest artist ever to do so.

Clara's art is full of hope, love, and big dreams. When people see her paintings, they feel inspired to believe in themselves and go after what they want. Her art is changing lives.

Clara was nominated for a Global Youth Award for the way she leads and inspires others, and she has been featured in Forbes, Good Morning America, and the Los Angeles Times. There are two documentaries and two children's books about her life. She also painted a portrait of Alicia Keys and gave it to her in person.

Clara lives in Costa Mesa, California, where she paints, creates, and dreams every single day. She shows the world that what makes you different can also be your greatest strength.
