Tapestry Moon Art Studio
About the Artist
Hello, my name is Carla Klosowski.

I have been an artist since I was at least 4 years old.

I was born in California.
I moved around a lot.

Now-I live just outside beautiful Pensacola, Florida,
home of the famous and very talented Navy flying
team, the Blue Angels!

(Whatever your political affiliation please support and
remember our troops while they are away!)

I finally decided that I was tired of working at
everything BUT my art, so now I am working solely
on my art and I am currently back in college to get my
teaching degree so I can teach children to draw and
paint!

I remember going to kindergarten and the crayons and
reams of white paper being the most fascinating things
I had ever laid my eyes upon. I could hardly wait to
use them!

I remember, even then, being different than the other
kids.
I saw the world through some other portal I suppose!

When the teacher passed out Pilgrim pictures for us to
color for Thanksgiving, I reached for a lovely jewel
colored purple crayon, while the others automatically
reached for the black crayons.

I began carefully coloring with that stunning color and
the teacher came along and literally gasped out loud as
though I had committed some felony in the art world.

She glowered down at me and stated emphatically, (as
the other children looked on and giggled) that Pilgrims
did not wear purple!
To which I calmly replied, “Mine do.” and I continued
to color, much to her chagrin!

That was the day the artist in me was born. It's a good
thing that I've always been independent and strong
willed!

I believe when children encounter teachers that are
wrapped up in their particular beliefs as to how things
are supposed to work and one seems to actually mock a
child, that just sets the stage for the demolition of an
active and wonderful imagination.

I have always been unconventional in my approach to
my art and photography and I believe the imagination
is the key to other worlds and lets us believe in things
that are not always visible.

It is a wonderful thing to see and live life outside the
box!

I refuse to let go of my inner child...it would be a
tragedy to lose that!

It is truly the one connection that keeps my
imagination flourishing, even in this hectic and
turbulent world.
It's nice to be able to escape the reality of this sphere
and visit the fantasy realm!

I am a professionally trained photographer and artist,
and I hope you enjoy my work! I have always loved
fantasy art and creating it!

Feel free to email me with comments and I will try to
answer your questions!

Thanks so much for coming to visit my site! Carla
