A bit about me:

I’m Kasso, a visual artist crafting immersive narratives for museums and gallery spaces. My art thrives in many settings and in art and cultural institutions alike. Rooted in emotional storytelling, I blend cultural imagery with contemporary ideas, a surreal vision of past, future, and lying in the space between them, prioritizing exhibits that challenge perception and foster dialogue. Sold through galleries and through my website, my one of a kind pieces extend my ethos, yet my focus remains on the permanence of bearing witness to life. In spaces where art transcends tangible value. For me, art isn’t a commodity, it’s a bridge to a collective voice.

As a California Indigenous artist, poet, and Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians member. My work fuses Miwok and Nisenan symbols and cultural tidbits, with surrealism’s vibrant pulse, merging visceral realism and dreamlike abstraction. Inspired by uncle Harry Fonseca’s storytelling and Frida Kahlo’s defiant intimacy, reflecting on trauma, healing, and Indigenous bonds.

Raised between California’s coast and Central Valley, into a woman with a wandering spirit.

My practice is rooted in freedom of flights if fancy, and community–bearing witness to shadow, I alchemize pain and obstacles into power through sacred geometry, fluid identity, and the body’s unyielding language. My paintings and poetry reclaim fragmented histories, honor ancestral motifs, and amplify personal sovereignty and survivance: the radiant, unbroken thread which becomes the bridge that reclaims us.
