Carla Fairchild

Artist Bio

Carla Fairchild is a self-taught artist from the Tampa Bay Area. Her passion is abstract/mixed media because it allows her to express herself and her pain with no boundaries. Carla's inspiration comes from her journey with a rare chronic illness, called CRPS or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Carla uses mostly acrylic paints but will use spray paints, along with recycled materials. She uses brushes, and a mix of different objects to use as her tools. Having a health challenge pushes her to persevere. Carla's illness inspires her but painting rescues her.
