As an art therapist, Marissa has worked with people of all ages and cultures. It is through these experiences that she learned the importance of art, not only as a medium of self- expression, but also as a way of documenting, mastering and organizing one's reality.
She has also learned that the process of creating is as important as the finished product. Because of this, her art is varied in presentation and techniques. The process of internal freedom and variety of options while creating is part of the joy she finds in art.
