Karla Alfaro

Karla Alfaro has been working at  NIAD for just over a year and she is  a lifelong Richmond resident. Karla is  a mixed media artist with a love for  drawing. She works continuously on  one piece at a time, building up layers  of color with colored pencils, wax oils,  crayons, pens, and oil pastels.  

There are images that are repeated  in her drawings: a small red house  in the top left corner, trees, cherries,  sometimes people. These images  are surrounded by a dense cloud of  greens, yellows, pinks, and oranges.  Her drawings are thick with color  when she’s done with them and for  the most part, Karla likes to start and  finish a single drawing in one day.  Her drawings have an atmosphere  to them; you can almost feel the air  between the trees and the sunshine  hitting the side of the red house.
