I am so in love with this...I came to it because the butterfly jumped out at me, as i just saw one flitting around (don't see them very often anymore) and I thought it had significance...having read your story...I know this is it. Everything you wrote resonates in me, it gave me goosebumps...same story with different characters, but at the same point in my life! This is beautiful in every way! Thank you, thank you, thank you! f/v -j

Carla Carson replied:

and thank you so much for the wonderful comment! Im so glad you can relate, many have as well. Life is one crazy ride that I wish would never end. The words "enjoy the journey" mean so much to me, especially now. Enjoy every minute of every day! Thank You Jacqueline so much... :)

Wonderful art & story. Sometimes it takes a long time to find where we fit in, it can be a struggle but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Art & photography is my passion in life. I can't tell you how many times that passion has helped me through the mental challenges of life, through those dark days, always with me, a light in the dark so to speak! Let it shine for you! F/V

Carla Carson replied:

Thank You for those beautiful words Hazel. You & I & all of us can work through anything with our gift of artistic expression. We are the lucky ones... :)

Gerald, Thank You so much for that sweet comment. It made me cry..... life has always been such a struggle for me, & it still is. I came to the fact that thats just the way it is. I don't mind it though, in fact, I love a good challenge. The hard times make us stronger too. Life is as they say a great journey. I love it, & wouldn't change a thing. Everything happens for a reason. I don't want it to end, but know it has to one day. I'm trying to make the best of my days, & I cherrish life & every day. I hope my art helps others to know they are not alone in life & with their struggles. We will work through the tough times & keep on keeping on until the big guy upstairs says time is up....

I saw this drawing in the self portrait contest and fell completely in love with it. It spoke volumes to me before I ever even came here to your gallery and read your description, but I am glad that I did, and thankful once again for your amazing honesty. It's a gift to be able to inspire others...and perhaps even save them from the pain that we have endured during our lessons. The drawing itself is of course exquisite. I love how you have used the bits of color...symbolically and compositionally....completely wonderful. The way she (you) is reaching out to touch the butterfly...well, to me it immediately evoked the sense of daring to reach out and touch your greatest dreams...and your own self-realization because indeed, the butterfly is what comes after the caterpillar and the chrysalis! From your narrative it appears that this drawing was a prophecy that you were to fulfill and though waiting all those years to do so might have felt like a hardship, I cannot help but think that it was somehow critical in evolving you into the superb artist and deeply insightful person that you are. I have been taught that it's "all about the journey," and I feel your journey and your talent illustrate that concept beautifully. v/f

Carla Carson replied:

Rory, I absolutely adore you... your a very insightful & wonderful person. Thank You.. Yes, the journey, quite a journey it is & its called life! And oh how much I am grateful & love this life & living. I sound like a broken record when I say this, but I'll say it again, Everything happens for a reason. It is the flow of things & life. II now think that it was not the time back then, just the beginning of things. I had all those years of life & inspiration & of the beautiful people who came in & out of my life. Now I have something to show, & lots of storys to tell through this gift..... I wouldn't change a thing. I'm very grateful & humbled... :)

Artist's Description

From childhood I was always told to do as your told, act your age, keep quiet. I always felt different & found it hard to fit in. I didn't know my place, or how to be me. I had to always try to please my parents & struggled to make a C. I was tormented & beaten up as a little girl because I dressed in rags as we were poor. I was told by my parents that I had to be in the band. I had to be in the band because my sister & all my cousins were in the band. They were all smart making straight A's & musically gifted, always winning awards, while I faked my way through from 1st grade to 11th grade never uttering a note from my dreaded clarinet that I hated with a passion. My senior year, I have had it! I was tired of trying to please everyone everyday of my life. I told my parents I refused to take band my last year of high school. They were upset, but I stood my ground. I wanted to take a class that I wanted. That would be Art
Class. The little girl in this picture is my ve...

About Carla Carson

Hello, my name is Carla Carson. My home here on FAA houses all of my art I have mastered over a span of many years. I reside in Phoenix Arizona, but I am originally from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
