Marissa Roche draws inspiration from her “first-glance” reactions to the natural world. Her artwork captures those moments we’ve all experienced when, with reawakened senses, we’re suddenly awestruck by elements of the world around us -- the vast skies, the expansive oceans, the peculiar patterns on a leaf.
Elements of realism and an abstract presence inform Marissa's images to create an external expression of her deep appreciation for and connection to the natural world.
Marissa has a BA in Studio Art from the University of Maryland. She has had the pleasure of working with children as an Arts Educator for the past six years. She currently resides in Maryland.
