Meet the artist

Carla O'Brien.

Carla O'Brien is a Melbourne-based visual artist and founder of Volter International, a creative studio specialising in large-scale, interactive public light art built from LED Neon Flex — a revolutionary replacement for traditional glass neon — a medium she taught herself and has since made her signature.

In 2009, she attended Burning Man in Black Rock City, Nevada, and was immersed in its scale and collective creativity — a pivotal experience that redirected her away from commercial design (she had spent 1997–2012 in Los Angeles building the pop-culture brand Fortune Tee) and toward large scale participatory light art.

Returning to Melbourne in 2012, she became Resident Visual Artist for A Day on the Green, creating interactive artworks across winery concert venues nationwide. During this period she taught herself to work with LED Neon Flex as interactive art, and in 2015 created her first major piece, Neon Angel Wings, for White Night Melbourne — a "wearable" four-metre-wide light sculpture that invited audiences to become part of the artwork. In 2016 she had a full-circle moment, bringing the Wings back to Burning Man, which gained her international attention when Katy Perry shared an image of herself wearing the Wings, which went globally viral, and in 2020 three pairs of Wings featured in the Festival of Light in Birmingham and Southampton, UK.

In 2022, Carla formally incorporated Volter International and established a creative studio in Southbank, Melbourne. She has since presented solo neon exhibitions and been featured at hundreds of festivals and events nationwide, building a body of work recognised for being visually striking, highly interactive, and inherently shareable — with millions of people having interacted with and photographed her work, generating organic audience engagement both onsite and online.

In 2026, Carla is expanding Volter International beyond LED Neon Flex into new light-based practices, broadening the studio's creative vocabulary while staying grounded in participation and collective experience.
