Julissa Bruno is a Dominican-American Artist currently based in Cleveland, Ohio. Her work focuses on self-exploration, supported by her collage-like mixed-media style and dreamy compositions. Bruno draws inspiration from music, childhood memories, culture, and family history of immigration to the United States. Ranging from youth to adulthood, the self-portrait is a recurring figure in her work. She records the stages of her life through responsive drawing.

Bruno’s work has been exhibited in Cleveland and New York. Her most recent exhibition was a solo show titled Que Lindos Recuerdos, displayed at Case Western Reserve University in September of 2024. She holds a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art.
