I do not paint to fill the walls,
but to unearth what silence hides.
Each stroke—a whisper of women before me,
each hue—a hymn from the soil of my roots.
Beauty, to me, is not decoration,
but revelation—
a mirror of spirit, aching and alive,
where stories stretch like vines toward the sun.
In color, I find memory.
In shadow, resilience.
And in every finished piece,
a prayer:
to connect,
to inspire,
and to be inspired—
again and again,
until the soul remembers
its true shape.
Step into a visual account of beauty and storytelling, where passion breathes color and culture into every canvas. To connect, inspire, and to be inspired.
Hi, I'm Karla — a traveling artist, currently living in Chattanooga, TN.

Introduction
Create. Connect. Inspire.
Karla is a traveling visual artist, and children’s book illustrator currently living in Chattanooga, TN. She has a passion for creating art that uplifts and celebrates black beauty and culture.
Through every brushstroke and story, her aim is to reclaim space, restore representation, and honor the richness, resilience, and beauty of black women. Art has the power to heal, to affirm, and to tell the stories we’ve been missing — and she’s ready to be part of that shift.
