Carissa Weber’s artwork represents the urge to be bold and take a chance, to put bright colors together, and to experiment. To let drips fall where they may, and to stop asking for permission. She hopes to communicate a feeling of wonder, excitement, and endless possibility. For Carissa, creating art is about having fun and being true to herself – she hopes to inspire you to do the same!
She makes original acrylic and watercolor paintings on canvas and paper, and creates wallet-friendly prints of the originals. Both will be for sale in her booth the Eagle Rock Music Festival.

Jessica Bio:
Born in Coromandel, Brazil, DCastro began to express his talent as a child with drawings, paintings, and sculptures. As a teenager, he showed his work in galleries and cultural spaces in Uberlandia, Brazil. Later he innovated the use of metal on canvas to create his “Metal” series. In 2010, he started to create paintings guided by a new artistic philosophy consisting of 7 major elements: Modernity, Contemporaneity, Innocence, Simplicity, Spirituality, Happiness, and Poetry. The result of the seven elements combining with his unique style makes his work not just painting but also dance, music, moving, and poetry on canvases. In the same year, he starts to develop a new art technique which using just natural light he has two different images on the same canvas. His work has given him the opportunity to exhibit his art in various popular television shows as “Californication”, House of Lies, CSI Cyber, Ray Donavan and others, as well as his work appearing in a New York Times article about artist influence in Venice Beach. After exhibiting his work in many Los Angeles art galleries he now has his own space in Venice, CA where he shows his paintings.
