Abreale was born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland. Growing up, she went to every Smitsonian museum with her mother. This fostered an appreciation for a multitude of art forms from an early age. Though there was an appreciation for art, she viewed her art classes as just a school requirement. by the time she reached her junior year of highschool, she began to take art more seriously. She recognized how much joy she got from sketching and painting in her free time, and began to center her education around art. After her first year of college, she decided to make Studio Art one of her majors. Primarily working with paint, Abreale seeks to display the experience of Blackness.  This has given her the platform to create an interdisciplinary major in Studio Art and African American Studies. Abreale is deeply appreciative of her acceptance into the Miller Arts Scholars Program. She plans to use these privileges to expand her understanding of the world around her in relation to race, as well as develop her identity as an artist.
