About the Artist: 
Carissa Baez is a visual artist whose creative practice is rooted in a lifelong engagement with art, faith, and the natural world. She received formal art training throughout her education, including elementary, middle, and high school, community college, and studies at the Art Institutes International Minnesota in Minneapolis. Carissa credits her artistic growth to both her faith and the guidance of many supporters and instructors, including Mary Jo Baez, Monzarrate Baez, Zonie Easton, Carmen Nelson, Galen Jensen, Tom Blondeau, Fr. Jim Zotalis, and others.
After leaving the Art Institutes International in 2000, Baez continued painting while following opportunities as they arose, guided by faith. From 2005 to 2007, she was an artist-in-residence at the Kaddatz Artist Lofts, a formative period that deepened her connection to the regional arts community. She has since been an active participant in local cultural life, serving as a featured artist at A Center for the Arts, volunteering with the coordination of Summerfest, assisting as a judge for the Blondeau Fine Arts Festival, and exhibiting her work throughout the community.
Baez works primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, as well as watercolor, charcoal, and pastels on paper. Inspired by the vivid colors, movement, and harmonies found in nature, she brings a sense of rhythm and emotional resonance to her work. Her travels—particularly to Puerto Rico and Colorado—have further influenced her use of vibrant color and dynamic composition.
Creating art for as long as she can remember, Baez approaches her practice as both a calling and a source of joy. Through her work, she seeks to evoke feelings of happiness, peace, and optimism, while encouraging others to embrace their own creativity and imagination. When immersed in her art, she finds deep fulfillment in doing what she loves.
