Through painting and poetry, my practice draws from personal experiences while engaging broader social and emotional landscapes. Addressing topics that are easily overshadowed, I create layered narratives shaped by vulnerability and resilience. Each work purposely exists to offer space for reflection, connection, and shared understanding.

Tek Mi Home
‘Tek Mi Home’ is an ongoing painting series exploring memory, nostalgia, and the longing for belonging through personal recollection. Rooted in my upbringing in Jamaica, the work reflects on the warmth, textures, and emotional imprints that continue to shape how I create.
“But through this painting, Karla managed to weave perfection into the raw imperfections of life. I look at it every day like it’s the first time I see it: in awe.”
