CARLA KURT
Carla Kurt's artistic journey began when she was a child, spending countless hours drawing, painting, reading, writing stories, scavenging trash for treasures, and decorating her space with found objects-all with the idea of creating a world where imagination becomes reality. Today, she continues to follow her muse with a synergistic combination of passion and sensibility that informs her unique style of visual art.
Described as magical, ethereal and dream-like, Kurt's paintings combine layered imagery, texture and evocative color to explore the visual poetry that occurs when mood and moment meet. With a nod to Symbolist, Expressionist and Surrealist painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kurt's imagery is drawn from her own personal mythology, cultural archetypes and symbols, poetry and nature.
Kurt took her first painting class when she was ten, beginning a formal study of art that continued through college, where her interest in literature and art history prompted her to major in the Humanities. She graduated from New York University with a degree in Classics, and continued on to earn a Master's degree in English Literature. She continues to study painting, both formally and informally, working with diverse contemporary painters and mixed media artists. Kurt currently shows her work in local New England galleries, and her paintings are in private collections in both the United States and Canada.
