Back in 2022, the team behind Design & Décor magazine met with the fascinating Carmen Gaffiero!

In her 90s, the talented woman detailed her favourite pastimes, among which she mentioned art, cooking, flower arranging, interior design, building dolls’ houses, and playing card games.

Even as painting took a back seat because it was becoming too tiring for her, Carmen discovered a new art form known as Zentangle which uses pre-defined and repeated patterns to create beautiful works of art.
