Carissa Potter is an artist who lives and works in Oakland, California. Under her brand "People I've Loved", she creates prints and small-scale objects that speak both humorously and poignantly to the human condition.

Carissa received her MFA in Printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2010, is a founding member of Colpa Press. Carissa has worked with the ICA in Boston, BAM/PFA, SFMOMA, and the De Young Museum, to name a few, and has also served as a mentor in Southern Exposure’s One-on-One Mentorship Program. I Like you, I Love You, Carissa’s first book, was published with Chronicle Books in 2015, and her second book, It’s Ok to Feel Things Deeply, was published in 2018. Carissa hosts the series "Bad At Keeping Secrets" (one of Substack’s featured newsletters of 2022) where she talks to other humans doing really interesting things.
