Karla Hartley
Karla Hartley is among the most admired and productive figures in our cultural landscape. She careens from making the most pop of popular entertainment to fiercely challenging the status quo, both to the great benefit of our area. She is as essential to Tampa Bay life as the beaches, bridges and thoroughfares.
