Manuela was born in Angra do Heroismo on the beautiful green island of Terceira, Azores, Portugal. As a young woman she traveled the world and had many adventures, spending time in Israel, Spain, and Greece with her four-year old daughter as her companion.

​
In 1966 Manuela moved to the United States and lived in Warren, Pennsylvania where she raised her five children. She became passionate about arts in the community and was the President and Education Coordinator of the Warren Art League and Director of the Warren County Council for the Arts.  She founded the Azores Art Studio where she taught children’s art classes. Manuela enjoyed hosting a weekly “open studio” night for her fellow artists where they would gather to paint, draw, socialize, and exchange ideas. Manuela studied art at Edindoro State College, in Pennsylvania, The Albert Handell School of Pastels in Woodstock, New York, Daniel Green Workshop in Montreal Canada and Raku Workshops with Susan and Steve Kemenyffy. She was the Director of Art for the “Art Train Exhibit”, a moving art show which traveled to various communities.
Manuela returned to her homeland in 1995, settling in the seaside village of Ferragudo in the Algrave region of Portugal.  There she continued to paint and teach adult art classes at Escola De Artes, in Lagoa Portugal, forming the Giracor Art Group. Her classes flourished with the different cultural influences, having members of several nationalities such as Canadians, Portuguese, Dutch, English, Scottish, South African, Belgians, Norwegians, German, Polish and Irish. Under her guidance her students’ skills blossomed and the group was proud to hold yearly art exhibits to showcase their works.  She also collaborated with the ACD De Ferragudo. Manuela herself continued painting all throughout her life and had numerous exhibits of her work in the United States, Canada and Portugal.
