Carla grew up in Olympia, exploring Puget Sound beaches and looking for ‘cool’ things like shells with delicate patterns. Her obsession with intertidal life motivated her to become a marine biologist, where her scientific work included studying fish and plankton with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The remarkable microscopic patterns she saw inspired her to explore art. Meanwhile, making a traditional quilt led her to discover that fabric could be assembled in amazing ways and a sewing machine could be used to draw. Stitch, fabric, dye, and paint became her favorite art materials.
