History
Carla is passionate about community and the health of the planet. Pouring toxic chemicals down the drain didn't seem right, so she pledged to only use paints and products that are as safe as possible (without compromise to performance). Knowing a dear friend with MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) has helped her understand the hidden poisons in the products we use around children, gardens, and our water sources (and ourselves!). Since the summer of 2012 Carla became a free-lance artist full time. She got an art studio in West Berkeley where she works (and plays). Most of her work is on location, so the studio also doubles as material and paint storage. Networking with local, eco-friendly businesses and craftsmen in the area has expanded her creative reach beyond expectation.
Specialties
