Carl Myrie Abrahams OD (14 May 1911 – 10 April 2005) was a Jamaican painter from Saint Andrew Parish.

[1] In 1937, while on a working holiday in Jamaica, Augustus John, the iconic British artist, encouraged Abrahams to begin painting professionally.

Abrahams taught himself to paint through self-study courses and manuals and by copying masterpieces from art books.

In 1944, during World War II Abrahams served in the Royal Air Force in England.

[3] His final decades saw few new developments in his style and he often repeated or created variations on many of his earlier paintings.
