Meet the Artist

Marisa "Mis" Bruno is a 23 year old Sacramento, California native. Her biggest passion is creating art. Bruno is a self taught artist that has further crafted her poetry through university courses at Sacramento State University.  In 2022, Bruno obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and minored in creative writing  at California State University, Sacramento. She is currently continuing in higher education at California State University, Sacramento in the Communication Studies Master's program. Other than art, she loves rock'n'roll music, wildlife and nature conservation, serving at her local church, and going to concerts.  Bruno originally created Art By Mis Bruno in 2019 to showcase her artwork on social media but has now ventured into making it her own brand and passion project. 

In the summer of 2022, Bruno launched her first clothing line, "Wild Western Disco." Wild Western Disco incorporates a cowboy-themed aesthetic with a feminine flare. The goal at Art By Mis Bruno for Wild Western Disco is to share messages that empower and inspire people across the globe to stand up for women's rights, be unapologetically themselves, and break out of oppressive gender stereotypes. Select pieces are now available to shop under the “Shop Wild Western Disco” tab (redirects to the ABMB Spring shop). 

Set for release in 2024, Bruno's debut poetry collection, Invasive Species, takes readers on an immersive journey into ecopoetics, touching on the topics of human vices, the California landscape, the truths of the natural world, and the cycle of growth and rebirth. Invasive Species consists of formal metered poetry along with free verse and prose pieces, accompanied by exclusive artwork made by Bruno. Check back for timely updates on the release of Invasive Species.
