about Carla Schuchman...

Carla Schuchman

Carla Schuchman is the creative force behind Homeworks Artistry, and is recognized as one of the top surface designers in The South.

Carla's training began with art classes in high school, and private lessons under the late Steve Grey. She recently completed training at The Faux School in Frederick, Maryland under master artist William Cochran. William and his wife Teresa founded the non-profit organization Shared Vision. His Trompe L’Oeil work is world reknown, as is his mission to create and produce monumental public artworks which bring communities together.

Carla has had the opportunity to work with some of the best designers in the South. Based in beautiful Pawleys Island, SC, her work transcends state lines — from North Carolina to Texas (where she was raised). Whether you are working with a designer on a specific project, or one-on-one with a client, you can be guaranteed that the entire experience will be gratifying.

An ambition of Carla's has been to cross the line from faux finishes and mural work, and venture into the realm of canvas paintings and prints. Recently she was commissioned to paint local scenery for private collections. Some of these paintings will be available in signed Giclee prints. A select few will be available only as limited edition prints.

Carla's upcoming work includes portraiture and illustrating children's books. She enjoy every aspect her talent leads her. She plans to enroll in several additional master training courses over the next several years.

Carla has extensive experience in commercial and residential surface design. Her unique finishes combine a flair for color and perspective, which sets her work apart.

We commissioned Carla to recreate in paint the view from our back porch of the DeBordieu Creek & marsh at sunset, and did she ever! We are awed by the attention to detail and reality that Carla was able to capture on canvas every time we walk by and look at this painting.

My husband and I recently bought a villa in the Huntington Lakes section of the Reserve. I was not excited about what I decscribed as the "Vanilla Villa". Carla came in and totally transformed the villa! It is gorgeous! People are amazed when they walk in and see... they cannot believe the walls in the study are not wallpapered. Carla is a talented and beautiful person. Thanks to her, We LOVE our new home!

Carla is a fantastic artist! She painted a mural of the North Carolina seaside for my children in their bathroom. We were all amazed at the creativity and ease she displayed in her work. We all watched as the scene from the seaside unfolded beneath her talented hands. Carla also painted a faux finish in our Master bathroom. We couldn't believe what a fantastic difference it made! We were all very happy and excited about her lovely work! I recommend Carla to you for transforming the mundane into something spectacular!
