Carla Goldberg is a mixed media painter who chooses materials that help focus the attention on the Hudson River and the environment. Her favorite materials include pieces of recycled and re-purposed items, interference and oil paints and resins which have the look of water in her abstracted images of the Hudson.
Goldberg also curates and creates large group shows and projects including the Centennial Celebration for the University of Redlands and the FREEDOM & ART project. FREEDOM & ART brings a diverse group of 74 international artists from 27 countries together as a fundraising format for Amnesty International. What started out as a simple book dedicated to a key political figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma, has turned into a traveling exhibition and panel discussion meant to inform the public of the continuing plight of Aung San Suu Kyi and her country.
