KARLA DEAL
Karla cultivated her love for working with copper over the past 10 years. She developed art pieces out of aged copper in the shape of guitars, banjos, and music notes, which was right up Nashville’s alley. Her copper guitars and banjos were first shown and sold at the Harpeth Art Gallery and became wildly popular with gallery goers. Even the governor’s wife, a patron of the gallery, became a fan of the guitars and asked Karla to create custom ornaments for their Christmas tree at the Governor’s Mansion. Paul LeQuire & Co. in Green Hills began carrying Karla’s copper art. As her work developed, her copper became more about the patina colors she achieved and less about the shapes. Through gallery exposure, Karla began getting requests for custom pieces. She’s always up for the challenge to produce something beautiful and unexpected! And she gets a little help from her poodle sidekick, Maverick.
