Artist's statement Carla is known locally for her combination of print, collage and poetry. Paramount in both her art and poetry are the atmospheric quality of her work and the feelings evoked. Richness of colour and imagery are important to, and evident in her work. Also a chef, food figures prominently in her early work. Not driven by any demons she creates because she simply enjoys the experience.
