Based in Ontario, Canada, she brings her passion for the outdoors into her art, often finding inspiration in her hiking, canoeing, and camping trips. With over 20 years of teaching experience, Marissa also dedicates herself to helping others discover their creative potential through painting workshops and classes.

Recently awarded a signature membership in the Society of Canadian Artists, for exceptional contributions to the SCA. Marissa's roles within the association from Newsletter, Social Media, Website, Vice-President and President has significantly shaped the trajectory of the society.  As President, her ability to navigate complex situations and make critical decisions during the trying times during the global pandemic, ensured the SCA continued to thrive amidst adversity, showcasing exceptional resilience and fortitude.

She was one of 18 artists to compete in the inaugural "Landscape of the Year Canada" TV series on CBC, and her plein air works were exhibited at the Oshawa Civic Centre in 2024, as part of the city's 100th anniversary.
