Carmel Mercado's creative journey started while she was a practicing pediatric ophthalmologist. Her unique background enables her to bridge a love for art while enhancing the experiences of young patients [and their families] during clinic visits.

We chat about her love for dogs, her gamer background and how her art continues to evolve in both large-and-small-scale mediums. You can find her public work in the greater Seattle area on utility boxes in Bellevue, Kent, Kirkland and Tukwila.
