Biography
After previously studying Ballet and contemporary dance, in 2007 Marissa Mardon graduated with a first class honours degree in Fine Art. Since then she has sold to clients and exhibited both nationally and internationally.

Having grown up in the highlands of Scotland, Marissa’s work has always had a strong connection to the nature of her surroundings. Having lived in London and now Chatham, the urban environment has caused her influence to shift.

Her recent work is inspired by photographic snapshots of reflections.  The atmospheric, subtly blurred tones and colours capture the mood and sometimes unnoticed viewpoints of a particular scene.  Although her work is presented from a personal perspective, viewers are drawn in by the intimacy of her images and engender feelings of quiet introspection.
