After a thirty year career as an interior designer, Carla Roth turned her eye toward painting. She began with watercolor, then moved into oil. Roth studied at the College of Marin with Chester Arnold and has taken workshops in the US and Europe. She is a representational artist who is inspired by her surroundings in the Bay Area. She has been in group and solo shows in local galleries, the DeYoung Museum, Marin MOCA, and Monterey Museum of Art.
