About Carmella
Born and raised in the small town of Granite City, IL, my love for art and creativity blossomed at an early age. From photography to music, I found joy in expressing myself through various mediums. My journey led me to become a mom, wife, and an artist in many forms—whether it’s through photography, jewelry design, or theatre, and choir. Each step of my life has been a testament to the love and passion I hold for my family, faith, and creative pursuits.
Over the next few months I will be journaling my life through the years from my birth, to the present. Should make for some very interseting reading. My life has been anything but boaring. lol
