VIEW AVAILABLE PAINTINGS
Carla Falb can trace her attraction to light emerging from the darkness back to her childhood. Memories of riding in the backseat of the family car at night, sleepy after a weekend at the beach, transfixed by the white and red car lights speeding by; memories of sitting on her father’s shoulders at a crowded Fourth of July fireworks display, mesmerized by the explosions of lights in the sky; memories of Christmas Eve midnight services with her father at the pulpit, encouraging a full congregation to hold up their glowing candles with extended arms to light up a dark church. The symbolism of light overcoming darkness became a powerful force from an early age.
