"Way out my comfort zone of tiny, neat ink drawings - I created a huge (for me!) A3 mixed media extravaganza in a day going large, loose and layered with Carla and her Abstract Botanical course. It's on my gotta-do-that-again list! Loved it!"

"I love Carla’s workshops , she has this calm & gentle way of teaching with clear instruction . She is confidence giving & I love her unique style of work .. the adding of layers brings in so many dimensions which you can achieve even if you're a complete beginner.”

"I have now been on two of Carla’s workshops and have enjoyed each immensely! It really doesn’t matter if you are a a beginner or more experienced. Carla is generous with her knowledge, very patient and her enthusiasm is contagious."

I thoroughly enjoyed Carla's course. Through guided demonstrations, I was able to build upon the layers of work, ending with a beautiful finished piece (or two) of art. I loved learning about mark making whilst being given the permission to be free, break the rules and take risks whilst having fun with paint and inks. Such an inspirational and thought provoking course."

Hello, I’m Carla
I'm a full-time artist who used to be obsessed with creating intricately controlled artwork.
Over the years I've learnt that playing & experimenting is my happy place. I'm having so much fun I don't worry about the results anymore.
I'm passionate about helping others free themselves from perceived rules & fully enjoy the process!
