Carmen Abelliera is a self-taught folk artist who was inspired by her Cuban grandfather, an artist who made things out of everyday objects and found materials. Carmen is a full-time artist and is motivated by a combination of aesthetic, economic, and environmental reasons, to make or paint something every day.

She is most well-known for her tribal motif painted series of Art Cars, and her "tin-dolls" and larger sculptures made from old printed, recycled tins.
