Portraits
Women who participated in the portrait series: Artfully Dressed: Women in the Art World
Diana Scarisbrick on her portrait for the Women in the Art World Series:
‘The session with Carla made me feel like one of Sir Joshua Reynold’s sitters, for she engaged me in an interesting conversation and I was fascinated by her professionalism – her study of the light, the experimenting with different poses, the exemplary patience. Thomas Carlyle declared that he could learn more about a person from a portrait than from one hundred books, and in my case Carla certainly seems to have captured the continuing quest for knowledge which enthrals me!’
‘The photographs are spectacular – theatrical and intimate, intelligent and thought-provoking, strong and wistful, all at the same time, marrying tradition with an edgy, forward looking twist.’

‘The moment I met Carla I loved her luminosity and beautiful coat! I was thrilled to be a part of celebrating women in the art world through Carla’s talented lens and thoughtful vision. If we shine together as women we build a brighter future; we illuminate best together.
I feel invigorated to create in an era where women are free to be themselves and embrace their femininity or not. It is informative to reflect on the past, but imperative to maintain perspective on the present and be instrumental in a brighter future.’

‘Thank you Carla van de Puttelaar for including me in your extraordinary project “Artfully Dressed Women in the Artworld”, what a great honour to be imortalised alongside some of the most inspirational art women of the 21st Century. Your project will be an everlasting and poignant art historical reminder for years to come.’
