Casey Diskin, a senior in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program, has been a painter ever since he was a child. Growing up, he used his talent to improve his skills and grow as an artist. Even though Diskin became successful with his paintings, it wasn't easy along the way. Diskin cannot tell the difference between the colors blue and green. Despite being colorblind to these colors, he pursued his love for art. He now spends 30 to 40 hours a week painting.

Diskin said his motivation for painting came from his brother, Lee. When Lee graduated from college he mocked his brother by sending his college graduation photos to Casey. "Brother Harrison & the Lagomorph" and "G.I. Bro vs. Windsor & Newton," two of Diskin's premiere pieces, were inspired by Lee's teasing.

Diskin's paintings are characterized by distortion and layering that focus on texture and color. From conception to conclusion it takes Diskin an average of 400 hours to complete one painting.
