Not unlike most folks, writing your own bio is a bit of a daunting task for me. I considered having my husband write it for me so he could tell you how fantastic I am but decided that might sound a little uppity. I'm the furthest thing from uppity so, allow me to introduce myself!
My name is Carla Rolfe (that much you probably already knew). I'm a very happily married, stay-at-home, work-at-home Christian mom to seven beautiful people and grandmother to three beautiful grand people. I am a self-taught graphic designer/artist and continue to learn and explore new options nearly every day.
If asked what my inspiration and/or design style most reflects, I'd have to say a mix of Disney, fun, cute, classy, retro, silly, elegant and a little bit of off-the-wall thrown in for good measure. In other words, I'm all over the place artistically and that's one of the most enjoyable things about being an artist. I'm inspired by funny things people say, cool things I see, fabulous color combinations that catch my eye and those things that friends and family say "Carla, you should create this".
I love plain potato chips, hikes in the woods, 82 degree days, classic rock music and flip flops. If it could be 82 degrees and snow, I'd love snow too.
