As our lead artist, Marissa brings a unique blend of talent, warmth, and creativity that turns every wedding into a living masterpiece. Growing up surrounded by the serene beauty of Northern Minnesota, Marissa’s artistic nature was shaped by the landscapes, wildlife, and heartfelt connections of rural life. Her keen eye for detail and ability to capture emotion on canvas have made her one of the most sought-after live event painters in the region.
Now residing on a picturesque hobby farm in central Minnesota, Marissa’s life is a beautiful tapestry of family, art, and nature. With four little ones, a loving husband, three playful dogs, a clowder of cats, chickens, cows, and an utterly charming miniature donkey, her home is as lively and full of love as her paintings. Each day on the farm inspires Marissa to infuse her work with the same joy, light, and authenticity she finds in her daily life.
Marissa’s talent extends beyond the canvas; she is also a licensed cosmetologist, working with a talented team of Minnesota girls to deliver stunning bridal hair and makeup. Her eye for beauty, both in art and in people, allows her to highlight the unique essence of every bride, just as she does with every couple she paints.
Marissa doesn’t just paint pictures; she captures the essence of life’s most treasured moments, turning them into timeless works of art. Her light shines through in everything she does, from the way she interacts with clients to the final brushstroke on a canvas. Marissa’s work is a reflection of the love and light she carries within her, and she hopes to one day bring that same joy to your special day, creating a piece that you, your family, and friends will cherish forever.
You are amazing Marissa!! I love that I know you. 🫶🏻
