BIO.
Art by Kara Crowley was founded in 2018. Kara is an artist who embraces the uniqueness of black culture. She creates pieces in order for her audience to make both emotional/ spiritual connections understanding the aesthetics, hardships, and accomplishments as an African American in society. Kara's time with YAYA Inc. (Young Aspirations - Young Artist) and at Xavier University of Louisiana molded her into the artist she is today. She continues looking for ways to nurture her own artistic practice throughout the New Orleans art community such as Xavier University of Louisiana, 912 Studio, and the Ana & Adeline Foundation. Kara's main passion is working in the studio along with her artistic discipline, which is painting portraits. Kara's medium is acrylic on wood surfaces and molding paste or dried acrylic to add depth.
