Hello, my name is Carol Freitas, and I’ve been interested and involved with art sense I was a little girl. I come from several generations of artist/artisans. I am originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico, were I lived there for seven years before we moved to Massachusetts. Being from a tropical island, I love to express my art with bright eye-catching colors, and movement.

My art often projects my personal journey and constant frustrations as a disabled woman. I was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy - Type II/III, which limits my mobility through time. However, my appreciation for art and all of its beauty continues to give me the passion and motivation to continue to express myself for as long as I am capable.I could honestly never see myself without expressing my love of art in some way, shape, or form. I have seen many individuals loose their love of life through struggles, and they often forget the beauty that surrounds us everyday. I promised myself, that I will never forget.

I currently keep myself busy by working on my art and volunteering with other non-profit/agencies like Easter Seals, Muscular Dystrophy Association, and Central Sq. Theater in Cambridge.
