Born and raised in New York City, artist Clarisse Perrette currently lives and works in Chicago. Her paintings have been featured at a number of galleries around the country, including s.e.e.d. Gallery (Brooklyn), Artist’s Museum (Washington D.C.), the Art Students League (New York City) and the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago.

According to Perrette, “My paintings explore the random, hectic movements in the day-to-day—one action bumps into another—one thought suddenly leads you to a very different one—one shape leans into the next. We move fast and disconnectedly. Sometimes it adds up to a whole, and sometimes it remains in pieces.”
