Marissa delves into simple shape and form to express the complex objects around us, refining them. 

The imagery within the paintings is often simplified in shape from what we know and understand of objects rather than a literal representation of them.

 

Often created in groups, some paintings evolve faster than others, the paintings which take longer to resolve can be identified in the build up and layering of paint as objects are moved around the canvas and forms changed along with colours until a resolution is found.
