Based in Melbourne, Carla graduated from Textile Design at RMIT and worked in the fashion & textile industry for many years. Eventually she was seduced by the pure creativity of oil painting.

Carla’s inspirations are abundant from modern masters; Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin and closer to home Australian 􏰀􏰁􏰂􏰃􏰄􏰅􏰆􏰇painters Dorrit Black􏰊􏰋􏰆􏰅􏰈􏰃􏰄􏰇 􏰇􏰌􏰍􏰎 􏰋􏰇and Alison Rehfisch.
