With my Italian and Portuguese ancestors, a South African childhood, and family bonds in Australia, I suppose I am in many ways a global citizen.
Today, I live and work in Denmark, but before settling in Copenhagen, I studied in the USA obtaining a Ph.D. in Psychology and Post Doctorate in Clinical Neuropsychology as well as a a M.A. in Theology.
As regards art, I have always drawn and painted, and have been tutored privately and at art schools in South Africa, California, USA and Denmark, from traditional drawing techniques to the use of pastels, watercolours and acrylics.
My initial training was in realism but with continued experimentation, I have shifted to a more symbolistic orientation, working mostly with acrylics and mixed media. In some ways, my psychological and cross cultural background as well as spiritual explorations have influenced this transition.
I invite you to have a look at my past and current explorations. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or requests.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly, Carla
