Julissa Bruno

Fall 2025

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.

Alyssa Lizzini

Spring 2026

Lizzini's layered images are inspired by her own archival, ethnographic, and visual research of city spaces. In the studio, she utilizes drawing, painting, and printmaking techniques to create visually complex, layered images that mirror the complexity of our social and spatial world. Lizzini graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2022.
