Raised in Pensacola, FL, Carmela began drawing at a young age. Later in life, she rediscovered her passion for painting, embracing a versatile approach that allowed her to expand her creative vision. As an intuitive painter, she creates ambiguous abstract works that explore the intersection of light and dark to reflect the strength and resilience of the human spirit. She creates vibrant and thought-provoking pieces that invite viewers to consider multidimensional realities. ​
