Gomee Girl asked Carmela Dutra:

Hi! Your illustrations are beautiful! Do you have any formal art training?

Carmela Dutra Hi Gomee Girl! Thank you for that wonderful compliment! I wouldn't say I have formal training. Yes I took art classes when I was in school, but I guess you could say that part of my brain is stronger? Everyone on my father's side of the family is an artist. So from a young age my father was helping to hone that inborn ability. Honestly I don't remember when I started down the road of art, I just know that I was doodling before I could even write my name, backwards C and all.

Art really is my passion, I live and breath art. I am not an outdoors person (too many allergies and asthma) but take me to an art museum and you have made my day!
