Marissa Chapman is an Italian-Canadian, female artist. She was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta.

With a colourful history of dance, music, and fine arts, Marissa finds herself expressing her emotions through these many forms of art. Her artistic practice began when she was very young and the passion began to grow tremendously.

“Art is a place where I can fully express myself and be rewarded for it.” - Marissa

She began her art education at Grant MacEwan University, dabbling in painting, sculpture, photography, installation, digital works, and more. She received her Bachelors of Fine Arts Diploma from Grant MacEwan and continued her art education in Vancouver at Emily Carr University. Here, she was exposed to conceptual art, ceramics, mould making, metal work, extensive drawing classes, and shows, galleries, and exhibitions. After receiving her a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree at Emily Carr, Specializing in Painting, Marissa returned to her hometown to pursue her profession as an artist.

Her artworks are full of expression, rich colors, and tiny details. Being both visually and conceptually involved in the works, she keeps a close connection to her works, drawing from personal experiences, emotions, and vivid dreams. When creating art, Marissa expresses her own personal conflicts and things that bring pleasure to the soul into the pieces.

“I like to keep a close connection with my works; art for me can never be anything but personal.” - Marissa

Her favoured mediums to work with are acrylic, chalk pastel, conté and mixed media. She has a wide variety of styles and moves amongst them quite fluently. Marissa’s works usually consist of bright colors and extreme attention to detail. She experiments with textures and layering, creating images which are interesting from both a distance and as inches way from the viewer.

Pulling ideas from her surroundings, in both the physical and digital world, Marissa collages her ideas together creating a “conceptual reality”.

“I like the idea of creating a conceptual reality or a place that does not truly exist anywhere but in one’s mind and imagination or dreams.” - Marissa
