Marissa Schiesser

As a professional working artist in Vancouver, British Columbia, Marissa’s mixed media collage pieces invite you to explore the depths of our everyday existence with modern technology and the natural world.
Her original paintings, collage art, and archival prints embody a present moment, a story, and what you’ll quickly notice as a joyful sense of curiosity.

Each piece holds a grounding, contemplative element for Marissa. As seen in her latest body of collage work, she skillfully curates with each cut of paper, found analog selections and an exploration of bright, whimsical colours. Her palette is shaped by bold and colourful florals mingled with soft tones of mountains and oceans.

If she had to choose only one word to describe her art practice as a whole, ‘flow’ would resonate at the top of a long list.

“Art is more than filling a space on a wall. It is about providing moments to get lost in imagination.” Marissa believes that art has the potential to create a new story for each person and can bridge a connection between the viewer and their own creativity.
