Carissa Diaz was born in California and received her BFA from San Francisco State University. Diaz has tailored her professional career to support art spaces that collaborate and foster fine artists, including Bay Area visual arts non-profit Root Division. Her painting practice was conceived as a form of self care in hopes of transferring the restorative positivity to the viewer through mindful attention to the impact of color and shape on mood.
With her first love being photography, Diaz produced, styled and photographed creative fashion photoshoots as a teen. With years of painting experience under her belt, she developed a strong foundation in color theory, composition, and learned to pay thoughtful attention to light to inform her creative choices. Diaz masterfully translates her visual arts skills into creating show-stopping photographs, paintings, and creative makeup looks. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
