She is interested in discovering the beauty that is found in the most ordinary things as well as the beauty in the natural world. She photographs the presence. Her images range from the most scenic to the most ordinary. As Carla shares her images with others, she hopes to give her viewers an opportunity to see the world through her eyes or new eyes, and to have a direct experience of connection, joy, and discovery. Carla holds a degree in Psychology/ Counseling and is specialized in Expressive Therapy. Carla has long known the value of the arts as a means of expanding people’s awareness. Being a long time photographer of ordinary things, a facilitator of group experience, and a practitioner of the contemplative arts, the photographer has experienced the power of silence.
