About
Hi, I’m Carmen Mantica Pellas—an independent illustrator and creative entrepreneur living between Houston and Nicaragua. I develop and independently sell print collections inspired by architecture, university culture, and Nicaragua’s landscapes, and I’ve sold over 80 prints at Rice University market events.
I also work on commissioned portraits and installations, manage branding and photography for my pieces, and create editorial illustrations for magazines. I love turning personal narratives into visual stories that audiences can connect with in everyday life.
