After Carla Grace earned Diploma in Fine Art from Whitecliffe College, New Zealand she moved to Australia where started her career as a full-time artist in 2015.

It's evident by looking at her work how much she loves the challenge of painting animal and bird portraits realistically. They appear almost real that you would want to reach out and touch the fur and feathers on the canvas.
