Marissa says that her paintings are inspired by a hazy state of existence, somewhere in between reality and dream space. She says that this is where her imagination can go without any limits or boundaries. She uses vibrant colors, intricate details, and symbolic elements to express her vision and emotions.
Marissa has been painting since she was a child, and she has experimented with different subjects and mediums over the years. She says that she has become more focused and cohesive in her approach, and that she has found her niche in combining human and nature elements. She says that she draws inspiration from mythology, folklore, spirituality, psychology, and personal experiences.

“I want my work to make people feel something, whether it’s curiosity, wonder, joy, or even sadness,” she says. “I want my work to be a catalyst for self-reflection and exploration.”
