Artist Statement
We all have a story to tell, a past consisting of a journey of twists and turns that brought us to the very place we stand today. It’s the stories that relate us to one another, finding that common thread and forging an acquaintance into a friendship.
I share my own narrative through my art, inspired by happenings, lyrics, emotions, and spiritual practices, often creating scenes touched with nuances of surrealism.
I believe the artist's job, my job, is to create work that speaks to one another, that forges a connection and reminds us what it means to be human; that we are a soul having a human experience. That our humanity is what unites us together, bringing purpose to our existence. And that we are capable of so much more.
"I'm always moved by what I perceive as a balance between whimsy and melancholy in Marisa's work. I feel like there's always space for the viewer to insert themselves, pause, take a look around. It's a really beautiful experience."
