Marissa Van Ristell

I love celebrating the physical interaction people can have with art, and that's something I love to dedicate my work to. I try my best to celebrate weird and unconventional themes, bringing to life stories worth telling. I work primarily on publication-based projects, combining digital and handmade practices. I love learning new skills and having fun in all illustration, typography, printmaking, and photographic methods of working. As I graduate, I am so excited to learn all that I can about the art world.
THIS IS THE PLACE I became a functioning human.
