Isaac Caruso
About the artist
Hello, my name is Isaac Nicholas Caruso. I'm an artist, sculptor and children's book author. I wrote and illustrated Sam & Sara, the first picture book EVER created ENTIRELY with murals! It tells the story of a neurodivergent child exploring her imagination. 54 murals where created throughout my home state of Arizona to tell this story. I make public art to communicate with communities. The imagery I paint is powerful and uplifting, so that I may transform my surroundings with positivity. My humble service as an artist is to create visual narratives that bind people together. I treat the act of painting murals as a performance piece, by showing my love for the neighborhoods I work with I strive to involve the community as much as possible in my process. Either for the sake of place-making, entertaining, or enhancing the urban landscape, I try to make our world feel more connected through public art.
