Karla Kay Benjamin is a studied artist from the Pacific Northwest. Having grown up in the Redmond area, she took art classes at an early age which fostered her love of different art forms. While attending Arizona State University, she explored every type of art while obtaining her arts degree.
After graduating, karla returned to Washington and found success in a ‘traditional’ job while still infusing her love of art everywhere she could. Throwing pottery after work, Batiking large canvases to hang in her home, and modifying clothing to better suit her style.
When the itch to do art full time could no longer be ignored, Karla Kay Art was born and with it, a renewed exploration of different art forms. You may have seen her ground breaking hand-painted silk streaming out of her booth on a windy day, or a video of her in her workshop on social media doing different mini projects.
Recently, she has been exploring moody PNW inspired watercolor, while still holding true to the style we have come to enjoy from her artwork.
No matter the form, Karla has a unique touch that you can pick out anywhere and is sure to be a statement piece to enjoy forever.
In the summer of 2024, Karla was diagnosed and treated (successfully) for breast cancer. She has decided to donate a portion of her future sales proceeds to Breast Cancer causes.
