Visual Art – New York - NYC
Working with oils, acrylics, and
house paint as well as Japanese paper, duct tape and such found materials as wine corks and bottle caps, Marissa creates works with strong surface energy and texture. Often using a pouring technique to apply the paint, she creates vibrant “drip-like” patterns that add to the feeling of spontaneity in her work. But, that spontaneity is expressed in precise, geometric terms. Early in Marissa\'s career, she discovered the ability to use line and movement to unique effect. In the combination between emotion and order, she achieves a highly personal and sophisticated artistic style. Marissa\'s paintings are an escape into freedom.
