KARLA LUNA

Hello, welcome!

Karla Luna - Textile Artist from Mexico, now based in California

I'm Karla Luna, born in 1987, Zacatecas, México. I'm a multidisciplinary textile artist based in California. My work blends a variety of techniques and materials to create both decorative and functional textile art. Growing up, I was inspired by the women in my family, always engaged in crafting. This vibrant environment, rich in the traditions of my Mexican heritage, sparked my passion for textiles from a young age.

Although I pursued a degree in Graphic Design, my true love has always been textile arts. This passion led me to establish Luna Textileria, which started with crochet apparel and has since expanded to include a diverse range of items like pillows, rugs, and distinctive wall hangings.

My artistic journey evolved significantly when I began using a tufting gun, which allowed me to create larger-scale artworks. As a self-taught artist, I am always exploring and creating, constantly pushing the boundaries of my craft to expand my artistic career.

Before moving to the United States, I participated in feminist activities, leading workshops that empowered women through the art of crochet, cultivating a community bound by creativity and collaboration.

I am passionately committed to my craft, constantly seeking new methods and embracing challenges that enhance my artistry. My dedication to innovation and growth continues to drive me as a dynamic force in the world of textile art. I find inspiration everywhere, especially by paying close attention to the natural world around me, which constantly influences my designs and techniques.
