SELF PORTRAIT 2021 by Carla Harvey

This is a giclee art print on canvas, signed by the artist measuring 16×20 inches ready for your wall! Artist Carla says… “I like to do a self portrait every year.  2020 and 21 were life changing for me, moving from my home of twenty years in Hollywood back to the midwest (in the middle of a pandemic none the less).  I had a certain amount of grief leaving my life behind and drawing this was like therapy.  There are nods to my life in both the sex and death industries in this copic marker piece, and the grave shape behind me is full of tiny details from my life in LA.  I will say that after a year of living away from Los Angeles I’ve adapted and I love the clean air and room to breathe…but part of me will always be….in the words of The Presidents of the United States of America band song Stranger: ”Carla The stripper, straight from LA!”

ESCAPE FROM LA by Carla Harvey

Giclee print created from original with ink and marker on fine art paper measuring 18×24″ with mirrored frame and custom hot pink mat.  Carla says, “I drove across the country to Los Angeles when I was just about twenty to be a rock star.  The images of Hollywood in the magazines I collected when I was a kid oozed sex and debauchery.  You could smell the booze coming off the pages. I wanted to be a part of that world so badly! I’ll never forget driving in to Hollywood for the first time in my 1995 Ford Probe…it was everything I had ever imagined.  But as I write this caption, I’m sitting in my new home in the burbs of Illinois.  I think the idea with LA is to eat it before it eats you and I had my fill.  I call this one Escape From Los Angeles.  After I finished it, I realized it had a bit of a Robert Williams vibe.  Williams is one of my all time favorite artists.”
