Carisa Swenson sculpts and stitches curiously uncanny creatures that strike a balance between odd and endearing, fantastical and familiar. Carisa's passion for creating this eccentric menagerie of peculiar beast springs from many sources - mythology, folk tales, the work of stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen and the Brothers Quay: movies such as Watership Down and the puppetry of The Henson Workshop to name but a few.

Carisa's work has been shown in numerous galleries with the United States as well as internationally and has been seen in publications such as Art Doller Quarterly and Spectrum.
