Carla Breeze studied art history ( BA ) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque . In the graduate school there she conducted research under the direction of Beaumont Newhall .
Her publications focus on the design and architecture of Art Deco in the United States. For her first book Pueblo deco: the art deco architecture of the Southwest , which she wrote with Marcus Whiffen in 1984, the authors received a scholarship from the University of New Mexico. The use of the term Pueblo Deco architecture in this book solidified the term as a distinctive stylistic term for the combination of Hispanic and indigenous motifs from the southwestern United States with elements of Art Deco in the 1920s.
