What photographers are saying...

"Carly is an amazing artist and just as inspiring as a teacher! Her expertise is evident in her artwork, but what sets her apart from other instructors is her passion for sharing her knowledge and her passion for unique digital creations. There are many automated filters and effects available for Photoshop, but Carly takes the time to teach the actual tools and techniques to create the artwork. Rather than pushing a button and hoping for something interesting, she encourages students to use tools available in Photoshop, experiment, and find their own style as an artist."

"Carly's classes are clear and to the point. She is methodical in her approach which makes it easy to learn. What I really appreciated is that she offers written instructions with the video lessons so I can review and get what I need at any time."

Think of me as a digital version of Bob Ross. I would love to teach you how to paint 'happy little trees' digitally. We have similar hair styles, too!

Carly Sullens studied painting and art history in both undergraduate and grad school, training in watercolor, oils, and acrylics. She holds a graduate degree in art therapy, and years in that practice have made her adept at helping people tap into their own power, creativity, and stories. Seeing that different forms of art have shaped and evolved her as an artist, several years ago, she added photography to her portfolio. Falling quickly and deeply in love with this line of work, Carly realized that her favorite part of photography was editing. Her excitement grew as her skills sharpened and as she learned to transform each photo in her post-production vision. Eventually, she began to apply her painting training, turning photos into works of art.

Her photographs have earned awards and been published.
