Carrasco was born in El Paso, Texas to Mexican-American parents.
 She was the second-oldest child and oldest girl in her family.
 She had two brothers and two sisters growing up.
 When she was around a year or so of age, her family moved to Los Angeles.
 They lived in government Veteran's housing in Culver City since her father was a Korean War Navy veteran.
 She recalls that they were poor and lived off of food stamps.
 Carrasco's childhood growing up in the predominantly Mexican-American and African-American community of Mar Vista Gardens was sometimes painful, because she was teased for having lighter skin than her peers and stood out for her green eyes; being called "white girl," "green eyes" and ""güera"."
 Her experiences with being simultaneously perceived as not truly Mexican-American and being told to "take advantage of being light skinned" makes up of part of her artistic subject matter later on in life.
 Carrasco said that her father encouraged her to broaden her horizons, go to college and encouraged her artwork.
 He had appreciated art and he was considered artistic.
 Her father, who worked as a bus driver for Santa Monica Bus Lines said that "anybody could be a bus driver but not everybody could be an artist."
 Carrasco's father died of a heart attack when she was twelve and it was difficult for her because she was always close to her father.
 Carrasco's mother, who also volunteered as a Girl Scout leader, was also artistically inclined.
 Her mother admired Japanese art and decorated the house with it.
 Carrasco felt that growing up with Japanese images influenced her sense of line.
 She also felt that her mother was a personal role model because she was a strong woman.
 Her mother was also, however, very protective of her girls, and she expected Carrasco to act as a role model of traditional femininity for her sisters.
The Niles Canyon ghost story is the Northern California variation on the vanishing hitchhiker archetype.
 There are many different variations of this story depending on whom you ask.
 All stories include a girl being involved in some sort of motorized vehicle accident on February 26 (year often changed).
 One variation of the story includes a girl being involved in a car crash on Niles Canyon road (off the 680 freeway in Sunol, California) on the way to her prom.
 The girl died on impact and to this day is said to haunt Niles Canyon road every February 26.
 The tale of the haunting goes that people traveling along Niles Canyon road (now Highway 84) on the night of February 26 will see a normal-looking high school-aged girl walking along the road in a prom dress (many people have said it is white).
 People traveling along the road (mostly those traveling alone) have said to have stopped and offered the girl a ride.
 She accepts the ride, giving the driver an address across the bridge (either Dumbarton or Bay Bridge depending on the storyteller).
 Once the driver gets to the beginning of the bridge, the girl will disappear.
 Sometimes people have gone to the address to find that a girl many years ago matching that description once lived there.
 Today, many people will travel along this treacherous pitch black road in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the Niles Canyon ghost.
