HEY, I'M CHARLA!

I believe that the arts hold the power to break down barriers that people build around themselves. As artists, we are gifted with the ability to speak straight into the heart of another person through the message of our art. Art is a powerful tool. It's time to get control of your creative process and make art that really matters. 

I’m a bold color portrait artist who challenges the concepts of traditional art. I believe it’s important to learn and practice the rules, but rules are meant to be broken!

I believe that making your art even better will bring joy to you, the artist. For the world, your art will add another perspective, another voice that can change the way people see things. Art is meant to be shared, so let's make bold art together and find courage to share it with the world!
