Born in Mexico City, Carla comes from a lineage of artists, writers, and painters who deeply influenced her creative journey.
From a young age, Carla's family immersed her in the world of art, often taking her to museums, which sparked her passion for creativity. Carla's Mexican heritage, rich in vibrant colors and cultural traditions, is a cornerstone of her work today.
With a background in graphic design, she initially made her mark by designing posters in the 90s, which has left a lasting graphic influence on her art. Carla's work is a celebration of color, focusing more on vibrant hues than on brush strokes. She doesn't confine herself to a single medium - instead, she embraces a diverse range including digital art, mixed media, acrylics, and collage.

Oil paints help Darrell manipulate what happens on canvas, informing the evolution and finality of the painting. He uses a palette that communicates depth, never using the same color in both the background and foreground.
Finding importance in expressions and gestures, Darrell says he hopes to create an image of paused motion, "as I can see in rewind and fast forward through my mind’s eye."
First he creates an abstract underpainting. As he decides what the painting will be, Darrell gains clarity of the figure while deliberating details. He says, "I am a visual editor, if you will, and I work on several pieces at a time.
The viewer is tempted to look more than once, recognizing something new with each glimpse."
