About

Hi - my name is Amrisa. I create contemporary art in a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, and digital illustration. My work is based on my own experience and inspired by the often lesser-known stories of minority populations that make up the various diaspora of populations that make up the Caribbean. I combine both visual art and storytelling to reflect my experience.
