BIO

Carla Thomson is a Rhode Island–based oil painter whose work blends organic elegance with timeless sophistication. Inspired by nature’s quiet balance, she creates atmospheric paintings that elevate spaces with refined beauty and depth. A former technology professional, she transitioned to full-time artistry in 2018, earning recognition in galleries and private collections across the U.S. and Europe. Her work invites collectors to experience the quiet luxury of art that feels personal, intentional, and enduring—pieces that resonate long after the first glance.

I paint florals and landscapes in oils, weaving light, texture, and color into scenes that feel both vivid and serene. My palette leans brighter, softened by the atmospheric depth of Tonalist influence and the subtle layering that gives each work its sense of place. These paintings offer moments to pause and notice beauty in a new way. My goal is to create art that enriches spaces while offering my collectors joy, serenity, and a lasting connection to the natural world.
