Benefactor Spotlight

Carrie Burckle

For our first TALA Benefactor Spotlight, it’s only right that we tip our caps to TALA’s own Carrie Burckle!

Having recently taken full responsibility for the future of TALA—Carrie’s own career as an artist can be overshadowed by her innumerable contributions to the Textile Arts community in Los Angeles and beyond.

But make no mistake, Carrie’s art is no supporting act.

We have a blog too
