Marissa Quinn
Illustrative Watercolor Nature Graphic Art, "A Coastal Sunflower Dance" 2022

2022

About the Item

This is a one of a kind original painting by southern California artist, Marissa Quinn. Its dimensions are 16" x 13" x 0.8" (HxWxD). It is watercolor, gouache, and pen. It is already framed. A certificate of authenticity will follow delivery. Featuring the California native Coastal Sunflower dancing amongst humpback whales, this piece whimsically connects the land and the sea. My work aims to be a reminder of the shared connection between all living beings on earth- specifically in ways often misunderstood. For example, the life cycle of a plant on land is connected to the life cycle of a whale in the ocean whether we can see that connection or not. From the land to the sea, we are all connected. Marissa Quinn graduated with a BFA and MFA in painting and drawing from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, CA. Quinn grew up in San Diego and spent her formative years developing a “biological and spiritual understanding of the balance of coastal habitats.” Quinn has a large drawing in the Lancaster Museum of Art and History’s permanent collection entitled “Cyclical Paradoxologies” Quinn combines realism and surrealism with her black and grey pen-and-ink drawings of endangered flora and anthropomorphic compositions. One might sense elements of indigenous storytelling and ancient mythology in Quinn’s work, a “connection of the cycle, the circle, and the ouroboros (an ancient source of hope for humanity)”. “I create work about animals for both the purpose of metaphorical storytelling and to bring awareness to specific endangered species in our world. I love combining anthropomorphic qualities into my subjects in order to create an emotional connection to the subject in the piece.” – Quinn
