Geometry is a universal language which encodes everything we see and partake in. These designs are 'words' composed of layers with different geometric ratios -E, Pi, Phi and the 12-tone musical scale. The colors add an additional component allowing a more holistic experience."

I have a passionate and spiritual reaction to nature. And I paint my subjects in an attempt to recreate that emotional truth and excitement. I paint primarily with water media because I love its transparent quality, vibrant colors and unpredictability. Spirited interpretations of my subjects are somewhat realistic yet ethereal. Celebration happens for me when I successfully express what I attempt to paint…and to share…a soul connection.

A painter and poet, I play in the crossroads of art & spirit. My paintings are visual stanzas of a poem I will spend my life writing - with brush & pen. I've had the honor to create and exhibit art in the United States, Europe & Micronesia. "As with poetry, painting is either a battle or a dance. Given the choice between music & a sword, I choose music." It's a lovely dance. Anna teaches workshops in prophetic art and poetry; see her listing in the Teaching Artists directory.

Carla has won numerous awards in local art shows and is presently the President of the Josephine County Artists Association. She paints portraits in oil, landscapes and still life in oils and pastel, and abstracts in acrylic. Her art hangs at Gallery One in Grants Pass, OR and at Rogue Gallery & Art Center in Medford, OR.

The beauty of Southern Oregon and my love to travel provides never ending opportunities to capture landscapes and nature images. The creative side of photography has moved me into many new directions. Working artistically with an image can transform a photo into an amazing work of art. I offer my work in Giclée prints and custom framed prints, perfect for home, office or a special gift. Visit my website to view my portfolio, and come back often as I regularly add new images.
