Chloe La Bare is an innovative visual artist based in San Francisco. Creative highlights include children's book illustrations and animation art for a Grammy-nominated music video by the local band Papahugs.
A dedicated artist, teacher and healer, she finds interdisciplinary exploration in visual, language and healing arts to be a rich inspiration. Chloe grew up between Provence and Paris, France in a household that held language in high regard. Ever the free spirit and innovator, Chloe at age 3 would spend hours "reading" books upside down.
She spent her formative education in Paris, at the Lycée Henri IV, and earned a Bachelor's degree at the Sorbonne. This was followed by a Master's degree in cultural studies at Paris 8 University on the impact of the poet Rimbaud, and by two years of teaching at the University. Ready to leave the ivory tower of academia, she migrated to Marseille and then to Santa Cruz, California, where she began studying art and dance, performing a season in the rock opera “Tommy.”
She finally found home in San Francisco, where she immersed herself in visual arts as her favorite artistic crucible of transformation. Chloe sees the process of making art as a high-spirited approach for an enhanced way of life, combining a childlike exuberance with a purposeful discovery to find new ways of engaging the world.
