Her artwork focuses primarily on Portraits, Landscapes and other interesting subjects in Watercolour and Acrylic. Her style is Abstract, Impressionistic, Bold and Colourful.

Carmen created and collaborated with 64 Million Artist’s & Carer’s UK to help produce a workpiece to support members with their well-being which was used during June 2023 with wonderful results.

Carmen contributed to Circa Art (The Cultural Institute of Radical Contemporary Arts) & Black Cultural Archives with a piece of work called “Arrival: In Honour of The Windrush Generation” celebrating the 75th Windrush Anniversary which showed daily on the Piccadilly Lights, Piccadilly, London at 8.23 pm each night in June 2023 for one month.
