Karla specializes in original collaborative platforms of bespoke artistry, by pushing the boundaries of individualism and creative freedom, which empowers and inspires clients who resonate with her work as an artist. This was birthed at a pivotal moment in her life through experiencing a traumatic event. Unbeknownst to Karla, seeking assistance during this time naturally navigated a route to self-healing.

Art had started her healing journey. With a background in fashion for over 25 years, she naturally fused the love of textures and art simultaneously. This has influenced a wonderful manifestation of haberdashery heaven on a variety of platforms. One in particular second-hand mannequins.

Karla loves to up cycle damaged mannequins and transform them into woven abstract expressionistic sculptures, using materials like thread, synthetic wools, denim, embellishments etc. The distinctive techniques which Karla has mastered over the years, runs continuously throughout her work, challenging her craft with exciting new projects.

Over the years her art has drawn in crowds of people from all walks of life and all ages. Art lovers, even people who aren’t really into art, but are fascinated with the complexity of how the materials are utilised to create life like sculptures. Everyone who comes into contact with her work says the same thing, “I have never seen anything like this before.”

After putting on her first solo exhibition called “Flow the Art of Letting Go” in South Kensington back in June/July 2022, Karla experienced first-hand how her work affected people from a mental health aspect. People were starting their healing journey through experiencing her art and this wonderful experience, has inspired her to also use her art as a form of art therapy.
