Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say?
My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

"Sunny Day Red Mountain" by Karla Nolan, framed mixed media collage, s&h incl. N. America
This is an older piece. The skies are silk I hand painted, the mountains are imported papers, and there are some actual dried flowers in the piece. Very experimental! Very fun! The frame is a soft pewter-silver silver with relief work on the surrounding edges and the actual collage is matted in soft blue suede. In Colorado there is an actual mountain named "Red Mountain" in the southwestern part of the state. The skies here are often very blue. I have always adored this piece.
