BIO
Carisse is a Filipina-American artist, born and raised in Greendale, Wisconsin. She attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she completed her Bachelors of Arts degree in Visual and Critical Studies program in three years. While at SAIC, Carisse undertook a summer studio residency at the Ballyvaughn College of Art in Ireland, where she exhibited her sculptural installation “Untitled 2010.” Her travels took her to South Eastern China, where she studied global minority cultures over a span of ten different villages and cities across the country. These travels informed her bodies of work for “In Dreaming”. Carisse’s senior thesis, “Fun with Dick and Little Susie: the naming of Erogenous Zones,” an interdisciplinary exploration of American culture’s fascination with anthropomorphizing erogenous zones of the body, was presented at the Art Institute of Chicago’s Modern Wing. This work is presently archived in the Flaxman Library of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Carisse has participated in events in various locations in the Midwest, including but not limited to: Open Canvas 2013, presented by Good Knight, in Milwaukee, WI; Synapse Arts: 2012 New Works, held at the Hamlin Park Fieldhouse Theatre in Chicago, IL; Modular 22, a traveling art exhibit commenced in Berwyn, IL; and Wandering, a female group exhibition held at Impala Gallery in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL. Carisse volunteers frequently with the Philippine Cultural and Civic Center Foundation of Milwaukee and, in addition to working on her art and music, enjoys spending time with her very closely knit family, partner and wonder dogs, Freya and Burt.
