Alisa Ochoa was born in Victorville, CA and raised in Las Vegas, NV. She applies  colors and emotions to all areas of visual expression, including sculpture and painting. Ochoa’s artistic achievement has been recognized with residencies at Hunter College Ceramic Department, Penland School of Craft, Marie Walsh Sharpe, and with exhibitions nationwide. Her artwork has been reviewed online and in print, including The Los Angeles Times, in which David Pagel wrote “Alisa Ochoa’s homemade book, in which design tells the story so well that words are obsolete.” After living in Brooklyn, New York and Dallas, Texas, she and her family relocated to Costa Mesa, California.
