A Native American Artistic Experience
Carla's Bio:
Carla Rae Knight has always loved to draw. Her mother, Anne Chichenoff, an Alaska Native American, first sparked Carla's interest with her 'doodles' - little drawings that she made on scraps of paper around the house. Carla soon began to make doodles of her own, moving on to the recreation of popular cartoons and characters for school friends. She has tried a variety of mediums over the years, but now creates her original art on computer. Carla's husband, Doyle, is terminally ill, and cannot be around chemicals of any kind, so Carla now uses her artistic abilities and her PC to express herself.
Carla Knight was born in Kodiak in 1947. She was raised without many of the cultural lessons that we value today. Her grandfather Paul of Kodiak was the exception. He taught her about water and the tides, giving her lessons that she cherished as an anchor to her past. Carla draws on these lessons for her artwork. She also passes them down to her children; William, 18; Alicia, 21; and Lindsey, 17; who she is raised on her own.
About 8 years ago, Carla began researching her native past when researching Native art for a friend's tattoo design, and she began to see the patterns reflected in the designs of nature around her. For the first time, she started to create her own work, which she gave as gifts to staff members at the hospital in which her husband was being treated.
Carla sells her artwork to help support her family, and hopes that with it she can share some of the joy she feels when she draws.
