The reproduction quality captures all the nuances of the watercolor painting and the warm, textural elements of the hand-made paper original.

Upon buying a printing press, Karla developed her distinctive approach to the age-old technique of hand-colored engraving, building upon the watercolor work she honed at Parsons School of Design. Karla s current body of work is influenced by illuminated manuscripts and folk art, and thematically portrays the most meaningful elements of her life: family, culture, strong women, an open-minded world view, and the natural world. Karla chose the name Gudeon Family Press for her collection as a tribute to her parents, grandparents, siblings, stepsiblings, aunts, uncles and cousins who demonstrate how life can be lived as an artistic extravaganza. Karla s celebrated paintings are displayed in galleries and distinguished collections throughout the country and abroad. Her images have been commissioned for book covers, calendars, greeting cards and award-winning children s books.
