Carla Watkins
“My Desire is to make thought provoking art, which addresses issues that affect all of humanity and to create a stronger social awareness.” The work I produce is based upon emotional and sociological events that happen personally and externally in the world. I hope to find some resolve through my work and for the observer to take something away with them to think about. I want for my work to become freer to interpretation and for the observer to be able to interact and become part of it, with an ambiguous approach so people can question it more. I feel my work acts like an emotional cleanser, when I manage to pinpoint something that touches upon a raw nerve. Creating art for me has become part of my integrity and my friend and guide. My spiritual life thrives off creating art and discovering aspects of others and myself. I would not be the same person without it in my life.
