Marissa Schofield

Marissa Schofield is a multidisciplinary artist based in Cambridge. She graduated with a BFA in sculpture and installation from OCAD University. Marissa, heavily influenced by her eight years of experience in floristry and her love of gardening, incorporates her expertise into her artistic practice by creating intricate floral installations. The ephemeral nature of her art, mirroring the transience of her garden, plays a vital role in her creative process. Marissa's artwork, which ranges from paintings to murals, embodies her deep passion for nature and its inherent beauty. Through her pieces, she explores the delicate balance between organic forms and human intervention, often incorporating elements of flora and fauna into her work. Her installations evoke a sense of harmony with the natural world, while her paintings and murals capture the vibrant colours and textures found in gardens and landscapes. Marissa's art invites viewers to reconnect with nature, appreciate its beauty, and reflect on their relationship with the environment.

Watch Marissa create during Art in the Open on September 29th, 2024 at the Melville Cafe Pavillion.
