Over the past 20 years, Downtown Los Angeles has been transformed from a burned out ghetto in many cases, to a thriving upscale artists community with new apartments, lofts and artists studios. Quite a few buildings that used to be occupied by wayward pigeons and rodents, are now ultra clean modern tech type of dwellings and studios with for rent signs letting temporary or permanent resident seekers know they are available. In addition to artists who use paints and a canvas, the film and video industries are milling around the area using various properties as locations for tv and film/music video shoots. One example of a successful artist who is experiencing art sales via galleries and online is the Mixed Media artist Clara Berta who creates large size works for commercial and residential interiors.

While there are many artists who create landscapes and portraits, the interesting thing about mixed media is that it scares many artists as they are not sure where to start. The medium allows the artist to express themselves in a free manner and hold nothing back. Clara is exactly that as she lets go and creates impressive works that are pure feeling and passion. Use the links above to visit her site and blog and remember to support your local artists! :)
