Chloe Irla
- Associate Professor
Art
I’m a millennial who grew up outside of Richmond, VA but moved around a lot as a teenager, which is probably why I devote my research to subjects like place and locality. My parents met at McDaniel (then Western Maryland College) in the early 1970s and got married in Little Baker Chapel, so the College is practically in my blood. I’m an alumna of McDaniel (class of 2007) and went to graduate school at the Maryland Institute College of Art’s interdisciplinary studio art program called the Mount Royal School of Art. I’ve exhibited my artwork in a dozen states, online, and in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Before teaching at McDaniel, I was the Operations Manager at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, MD where I designed and managed projects for clients such as the NBA, the US Department of the Navy, Hilton Worldwide, and various famous people. In addition to making art, I enjoy baking, running, being outside, spending time with my family, reading, and listening to podcasts.

"Without a doubt Professor Irla was my best mentor for my time at McDaniel. She has helped me grow so much as an artist and helped push me to achieve goals I never thought possible."
