Born in Mexico City, Carla comes from a lineage of artists, writers, and painters who deeply influenced her creative journey.
From a young age, Carla's family immersed her in the world of art, often taking her to museums, which sparked her passion for creativity. Carla's Mexican heritage, rich in vibrant colors and cultural traditions, is a cornerstone of her work today.
With a background in graphic design, she initially made her mark by designing posters in the 90s, which has left a lasting graphic influence on her art. Carla's work is a celebration of color, focusing more on vibrant hues than on brush strokes. She doesn't confine herself to a single medium - instead, she embraces a diverse range including digital art, mixed media, acrylics, and collage.

Jessica Stoddart-Ladd grew up on a rural farm in middle Tennessee. As the child of fine art photographers, she spent much of her childhood on the road with her parents at art festivals.
Her current work is the culmination of all her experience, and was an epiphany in her art as it combines all elements of her skills and imagination.
In its very nature, her art creates excitement while controlling the chaos of combining the abstract and realistic.
While her strength lies in her understanding of light, composition, and design, her work's warmth and expression are the juxtapositions she creates in the viewer's eyes, mind, and heart. A contrast of what is and is not there, the old against the new, and the past against the present, creates a lasting future. A reflection on the struggles of modern times.
