MARISA PASICZNIK ROSS

Information

I was born in Brazil. I studied Graphic Arts and many years of practice in printmaking and exploring painting, drawing at Open Studio of Fundacao das Artes de Sao Caetano do Sul.

I moved to Australia in 2006 and recently obtained a Diploma in Visual Arts at The Sydney Gallery School, Meadowbank (2014). After many years working in marketing, environmental communications and other customer related jobs, I am a student at Sydney College of the Arts.

 I love the sea, beaches, under the sea and marine wildlife. I feel fascinated by the beautiful design and shapes of corals, fish and shells and its atmosphere that brings me a feeling that I associate with happiness. My artworks are manly inspired by the sea. Experimenting with new media and techniques also absorbs my attention.
