CARLA WETTSTEIN

Carla Wettstein-Utiger is the progeny of an artistic Swiss family and grew up in Zurich, Switzerland. Her father was a well known artist, and her mother an accomplished pianist. She and her husband emigrated to Sydney in 1970.

 

After her Diploma  of Fine Art in 2004 she became fascinated by the beauty inherent in the internal organs and bones of the human body.

​

She incorporates them into intensely colourful views of the natural world and are identifiable more through the painting's title than through their representation. As Carla says, "It is fantastic how our body looks inside and how we can find similarities in nature."

Carla is a member of the Central Coast Art Society.
