About Karla

I grew up in Mexico and California where tile was bright, colorful and plentiful. I've always loved tile and began painting it a few years ago, after an eight month stay in Spain and Portugal, photographing, drawing and painting both classic and original designs. I love travel and other cultures, a home filled with handcrafted work, streets of stone, the rhythms and celebrations of country life.

My passion for medieval, sacred, folk and Romanesque designs adapts itself to the simple lines and bright colors of tile work. Combining whimsical and sacred, mundane and spiritual, I aspire to the magical realism of South American and Spanish arts, where the unseen world of spirit and emotion takes form and enters the world of the senses.
