Growing up in Miami she was always fascinated with the cultural diversity she witnessed in South Florida. She eventually went to the Academy of Arts and Minds High School in Coconut Grove and was exposed to so many different types of amazing arts from photography, film, theater, poetry, to music and dance. Manuela was interested in photography. 

After graduation, her interest expanded into art & painting.  She would paint here and there and learn from local artist and just trying to find her style.

She loved exploring the different art forms by attending every Art Walk along the streets of Miami’s Art District. She was in love with the art scene as her interest in different styles started to take shape. 

She eventually moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2018 to pursue her art career.

She hopes to paint as much of the "Magic City“ and make the city a more colorful and happy place to be.
