About: Karla Wheeler was born and raised in San Diego, had a layover in Wisconsin, and now lives and works in Chicago. She grew up with two artistic parents, thinking that it must have skipped a generation, until her mother convinced her to take a class at Chicago’s Lillstreet Art Center. As she found clay to be too messy and her drawing abilities limited to stick figures, Karla decided to see what the Metals Department had to offer. Since then, in addition to her workaholic tendencies at her day job and taking care of her Daschund-Chihuahua puppy at home, she has been making and selling jewelry, and has discovered that if you give her a hammer, she is a happy girl.See Authors Posts (1) on Nov.14, 2009, under Jewelry Making
