Carmen worked for the Air Force in Utah, Florida, and the Azores Islands. She has been a secretary (she types really fast), graphic illustrator (finally her perfect job), Quality Assurance Evaluator (that annoying person with a clipboard), and Program Analyst (what they call you when they can't figure out what to call you).
During this time, she managed to publish comic strips for the Air Force and other publications and was always the go-to person for anything artistic. She supervised a Graphics Shop and did freelance illustrations as well.
Gleefully retiring in 2003, Carmen began to indulge herself in painting as much as she wanted, and she has now ramped it up to being a Daily Painter on www.dailypainteroriginals.com and www.dailypaintworks.com. She paints a minimum of three small paintings weekly.
