Carlina C. brings joy to every project at Special Artists. She loves creating and enjoys every step of the process. Carlina blends her colors with smooth transitions so you can hardly see the brushstrokes. She has an excellent color sense and often uses shades of one color family to create a pleasing, calm effect. Her work is very neat and insightful.
Carlina and her family were residents of Lexington for almost 15 years while she attended Beverly School for the Deaf. She has one brother and two sisters. Half of the family are California natives, half are native New Englanders. She has participated in Special Olympics and won medals for running. Carlina recently started therapeutic horseback riding in December.
Carlina has seen a lot of art by going to museums, galleries and open studio visits through the years. She loves painting and is having fun learning ceramics. She likes craft projects as well. She has made friends at SNAP and loves the social aspect of the classes and teachers.
Carlina enjoys visiting with family and friends and is usually ready to go anywhere before the pandemic put the brakes on! At home she loves brushing her cat, watching movies, keeping in touch by sending letters, cards, and texting on her phone, as well as playing some games online. She takes impressive photos on her camera and her phone.
Her favorite color is purple which one could guess by seeing her choices in clothing, eyeglasses, and hearing aides.
Carlina has made a big impact at SNAP. We are so glad she is sharing her talents with us!
