Carla loves to capture moments. She carries her digital camera everywhere she goes—since you never know when a great moment worth capturing is going to occur. Children, architecture and life in general in the big city of Chicago are the subjects she photographs the most.

I was born in 1957 in Chicago and lived 3 blocks from Wrigley Field. Both my parents were artists and influenced my right brain. My paintings are in private and public collections – the Sun Times Building, The Baseball Hall of Fame – Cooperstown, Murphy’s Bleacher, and my Mom’s refrigerator. My ongoing baseball artshow has been a resounding success.

I see my work as as healing through color, both for myself, and the viewer. In this way, I hope my art raises the level of awareness of those that come in contact with it. I work mainly in abstraction, with some figurative elements coming through, usually as interpreted by the viewer, although some are obvious to me when making them.

The “Merkeyna Coif Boutique” is a collaborative/cooperative project by artists Erin Coleman-Cruz and Bianca McGraw. The artists take on the personae of the “Coif Sisters” and perform as a traveling boutique. The Coif sister’s “product line” includes all hand-made or altered items related to the Merkeyna (a Merkeyna is a 21st century refashioning of the merkin, or pubic wig). The Merkeyna is used as a catalyst for discussion about the body both historically and contemporarily within in a safe and healthy environment that takes form as an installed boutique.
