   Originally a painter, Carla works in a wide variety of media, including acrylics, watercolor, papers, prints, ink etc., most recently incorporating recycled materials especially plastic bottles, cardboard packaging and found objects into her work.

She has participated in a wide variety of shows and exhibits in and around the shore area and her work is in several public and many private collections
 

Primary influences include nature, particularly the beach and ocean, personal history, the passage of time, as well as the basic elements of line, shape, color and texture. The works of Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse and Robert Rauschenberg have also been significantly influential, among others.
