About
My art is a mixture of
stylized realism with a bit of humor and elements of pop art. I am inspired by
site specific elements, local flair, and nature.
I have worked with an extensive variety of clientele, from homeowners to large
corporate businesses on creating just the right design to best represent their
style or business. I am OSHA certified on lift operation, and I have led artistic projects that involve community participation and am comfortable
interacting with the public and the media.

I cannot say enough about my experience with Carla. She was so easy to work with in coming up with ideas and working with my very vague vision, scheduling the work, and working within my budget. She was so professional on site, you would have never known she was there she was so neat and tidy, she arrived on time and completed the work efficiently. Plus, she’s just such a lovely and happy person and made me feel very relaxed (and my pups and kitties!). And just look at the final product! I expected something beautiful but what I got just floored me! I absolutely love it and it’s one of my favorite things about my house. I am so happy with my decision and love everything about this whole experience!

Carla created a beautiful paint-by-number mural for an office team building event. She was very creative, with minimal guidance, and presented really thoughtful designs for the mural. Her work is top quality and she is so fun to work with! We loved her and her work so much, we're booking her for more murals around the office.

Carla was amazing to work with. Her creativity and professionalism is top notch. She brought my idea of what I envisioned for a mural come to life with bright colors and creative ideas. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!!

Carla has been the muralist for Pilot Brewing since we've opened. From simple chalkboard art to full multiple wall sized murals, both inside and outside. They worked closely with our marketing team and did a great job making all our ideas come to life! I highly recommend Carla!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing ranges based on the square footage of the wall as well as materials and level of detail in the design. I can design for any budget.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with an initial phone, zoom or in person consultation where we discuss what you are looking for and throw around some initial ideas. I have a questionnaire I have my client fill out so that I can have a clear idea of who they are, what their business is, and what they would like their space to convey. Then I provide a quote and take a 20% deposit to begin digital sketches that I can superimpose onto an image of their space. When we have landed on the final design I either hand sketch or project the image onto their wall and begin to paint. The final amount is due upon completion of the project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Winthrop University and studied fine art. After college I purchased an art gallery where I represented over 30 local artists. On average I paint around 20 murals each year.
