Hi everyone and welcome to my creative paradise!
Mixed Media Artist/Educator
Mixed Media Artist/Educator
My name is Ivett Carrillo and despite growing
up in Southern Florida, I have called the San Francisco Bay Area my
home for the past 25+ years.
I have been creative all of my life, but my love
for Mixed Media, altered works, paper crafting, and scrapbooking really
took off early 90's. I can proudly say that I am the mother of a beautiful
daughter and two awesome boys who are the light of my life and the inspiration
that has fueled my work throughout the years.
Ever since I was a little girl one of my biggest
strengths has been my ability to draw inspiration from everyday objects at the
drop of a hat. The ability to see something interesting or pleasing to the eye
and coming up with a way to put it in a layout, card, tags, altered item,
drawing, Mixed Media, or a mini book has been a blessing that has only been
enriched by my life experiences. The most influential of these experiences has
been my various travels abroad which have not only influenced my perspective of
life, but my artistic flair as well. These travels have taught me to be daring,
to let colors flow, and to embrace each project I work on creatively in my
studio.
My most recent work on design teams include,
Lindy's Stamp Gang, (National Educator & DT
Member) 2010-present,
