Driven by a need for clarity and healing, Carrisa Bruce’s work transforms unresolved emotions into a powerful creative force. As an Afro-Caribbean queer woman living with dyslexia, she navigates societal challenges by translating her lived experience into art that explores the intersection of environment, mental wellbeing, and identity.

Her practice is deeply rooted in advocacy — focusing on equality, representation, and mental health awareness. By examining the “cards she was dealt with,” she creates with the conviction that her unique perspective offers a vital contribution to cultural conversation, turning personal reflection into impactful social commentary.
