Carla Deal

About The Exhibit

Carla Deal is a Portland-based painter and muralist whose work captures the radiant, ethereal beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Specializing in contemporary landscapes, Carla is known for her vibrant use of color and her ability to translate the serenity of the natural world, from the glow of a Mt. Hood sunset to the misty reaches of the Oregon coast, into immersive works of art. Her practice spans from intimate original paintings and fine art prints to large-scale interior and exterior murals that bring the outdoors into urban spaces. With a philosophy rooted in "No Wasted Days," Carla’s work invites viewers to pause and reconnect with the scenic wonders that define life in Oregon. Her art can also be found in several local Portland mainstays.
