Back to the canvas

To open this journal, there is no better place than the beginning. This is the piece in which Karla tells how painting came into her life, how she drifted away from it and how she came back. We publish it exactly as she wrote it.

Painting came into my life several years ago. I taught myself, with a little guidance from a painter friend, and gradually discovered the joy of creating through experimenting.

After a long break, my return to it came about unexpectedly.

While buying paintings to decorate my home, I thought: why not create my own?
