These recorded “moments” serve as a portal, offering the viewer access to the lives and souls of those captured on canvas, and the lives and souls of us all.” “The eyes are the windows of the soul” English Proverb Carla Keaton received her degree in Fine Art and Physical Anthropology from Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.
