[citation needed] At the age of nine years old, she started composing small photo-realistic drawings influenced by cartoons, comics[1] and fashion magazines.

During this time, De Carvalho has been engaged in her studio practice and involved in several exhibitions throughout the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.

Among many professional accomplishments are her Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award,[2] Sculpture Space residency,[3] Aljira Emerge 10 fellowship,[4] Lower East Side Printshop exhibit,[5] the Bronx Museum of the Arts' Artist in the Marketplace,[6] and Workspace Artist residency at the Jamaica Center for the Arts and Learning Gallery.

She compares the environment and human civilization in a way to make viewers question their relationship with both and thus, define what they expect from their culture and themselves.

In collaboration with School Construction Authority,[24] in 2019 De Carvalho began creating permanent public artwork for the SBS Woodhaven median stations commissioned by New York City's department of cultural affairs’ "Percent for Arts Program"[25] as well as her largest and most ambitious sculptural work to date for the Valley Metro Rail System in Phoenix, Arizona.
