Karla Gerard
I am a self-taught artist from Maine, USA. My passion is painting patterned landscapes and abstracts with crooked houses and swirl trees. I combine folk art with abstract. I think the patterns come from my love of fabrics. Inspirational sources: house/décor magazines, color charts, nature, dreams and spontaneous ideas.
My colorful paintings are in acrylics mostly, sometimes with paper elements. It has been said that my paintings carry you to an imaginary world.
My art has been published in magazines, newspapers, school lesson books and I illustrated a children’s book. I created an adult coloring book, published in 2016, with over 45 of my illustrations. I have been represented in art galleries and I have had a painting in a Warner Bros. movie.
