Greta Gonzalez Carreras

Greta was born and raised in Havana, Cuba, where she was first introduced to the fine arts through ballet. When she wasn’t dancing, Greta spent hours a day drawing and using her vivid imagination to create characters and settings inspired by her home country.

Not only did ballet give Greta another avenue to express herself creatively, but it also gave her the discipline and work ethic that continues to support her artistic talents to this day. Through high school, Greta utilized her foundational knowledge of ballet to perform Cuban dances like the cha-cha-cha, guaguanco, salsa, danzón, mambo and many others.

Meanwhile, Greta continued to cultivate her love of drawing. When she first saw the movie “Finding Nemo,” the combination of art, story and technology stunned and inspired her.
