about: Originally from Minneapolis, Carissa Potter lives and works in Oakland, California. Her prints and small-scale objects reflect her hopeless romanticism through their investigations into public and private intimacy.

Carissa Potter is a founding member of Colpa Press and founder of People I've Loved. Since 2010, she has been an artist in residence at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, where she teaches letter­press. She also serves as a mentor in Southern Exposure's One-on-One Mentorship Program. Carissa received he Originally from Minneapolis, Carissa Potter lives and works in Oakland, California.
