An artist inspired by nature and her surroundings as well as background identity.
Working in oils, acrylics and watercolors enables Carla to express strong and colorful emotion in a delicate way.

Carla’s journey as an artist began at an early age. She grew up in a small village in the English countryside. The village sits on the top of a hill with magnificent views of a city on one side and rolling hills, valleys and lakes on the other side. Spending time within these environments had a huge influence.

Carla also has influences from the Caribbean island of Trinidad where her Mother's side of the family are from, with ancestry originating in India.
Carla spends time in Trinidad once a year enjoying Caribbean and Indian cultural influences in a rural and tropical village setting. The village is surrounded with an abundance of vegetation including tropical trees, flowers and wildlife with luminous colors and sounds of the rainforest.

Throughout her school years Carla attended classes within the English countryside setting and excelled in Art.
Art was always her focus and passion.
