Marika Morissette
Burnaby, British Columbia
Marika is a visual artist specializing in acrylic pour paintings. Her creations are unique and intriguing, going deep into the space of creativity and hopefulness. Marika finds pour painting to be incredibly freeing since she literally gets to “go with the flow.” She sets the emotional tone for each piece by choosing colours and techniques, and then lets the direction reveal itself through the visual transformation that takes place organically.
Using silicone oil as an additive to create stunning, bright cells in her creations, Marika experiments with different approaches including blowing, dirty cup pours, bottle-bottom pours, balloon-kisses and the swipe method. She feels exhilarated as she torches over her paintings, anticipating the gorgeous cells that she intuitively knows will appear.

It is my hope that people will experience an emotional connection to my work, and that they will find the vivid, energizing colours to be uplifting and stimulate optimism.
