In 1937, Herrera moved to the United States with her husband and continued her education at the Art Students League in New York while also taking classes at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Originally trained as an architect, Carmen Herrera creates artwork that features strong lines and symmetry.

« Beauty comes from within, but it's up to us to use fashion and beauty to express who we are on the inside. »
Carmen Herrera

Her precision to detail, measurement, and scale leads to striking minimalist productions featuring very few colors with geometric form. Even after all her training, and the many works of art she has produced, Carmen Herrera was not discovered as an artist until she was 89 years old. At that time, she sold her first piece. At the age of 101, she finally had a show to display her work, in New York City's Whitney Museum.
