Carla loves experimenting with different media and compiling it together. Since studying at Lansing Community College, she started working more heavily with digital art/design, while also studying animation, where she plans to focus her future endeavors. Carla’s work has been presented throughout Mid-Michigan including at the Broad Art Lab’s 2019 MLK Art Contest, and at Constellation Cat Café for their 2022 Fundraiser in December.
