Karla Gudeon Art & Design is a renowned brand that was founded in 1998 by Karla Gudeon. After leaving her teaching career, she made the bold decision to pursue her passion for art full-time. Her aim was to set an example for her children, encouraging them to pursue their own passions in life.

Karla's distinctive artistic approach combines the age-old technique of hand-colored engraving with her honed watercolor skills from Parsons School of Design. Her current body of work draws inspiration from illuminated manuscripts and folk art, beautifully capturing the meaningful aspects of her life. Themes like family, culture, strong women, an open-minded worldview, and the beauty of nature permeate her creations.

Karla's celebrated paintings can be found in galleries and esteemed collections across the country and internationally. Her talent extends beyond canvas, with her images commissioned for book covers, calendars, greeting cards, and award-winning children's books. Based in New York, Karla is supported by her two sons, Sam and Max, who bring joy and inspiration to her work.
